    I hope your USB outlet is not supplying 120v. LOL

    I wonder if that was a re-used photo, where somebody else added an arrow pointing to the USB outlet, but the OP just pasted it in to illustrate the 12V/120W outlet next to it.

    I reuse photos that way sometimes, if I find one somebody else already uploaded, even if maybe it has an arrow to something besides what I'm talking about.

    If that's what happened, then it just takes pointing out that a 120 V outlet and a 12 V (120 W) outlet are definitely not the same thing.

    It was a photo talking about the outlets, arrow was simply pointing to the USB, but it also clearly shows the outlet they were talking about in the specs, the 120W, 120v was simply a misprint. This is like a hunt for Bigfoot, it was clearly a misprint, but people are still hunting for it.

    A 'misprint' that Toyota Canada still hasn't fixed on their specifications website:

    2022 Prius Prime Specifications - Toyota Canada

    In some parts of the U.S., such 'misprints' can rise up to the level of state consumer protection offices.

    As pointed out by @fuzzy1, in OP's case in Canada, this is clearly a mistake Toyota Canada made but not by simple misprinting for the 120W, 12V outlet. It is an entirely separate thing as listed.

    What's most interesting is the small jack colocated with the USB? Is that a headphone out or aux in? It's not there on my 22 Prime. Sure wish I had a headphone out jack!

    It is an AUX-in stereo jack. I did not know that 2022 deleted this. My 2021 PP still has it.

The outlet is in the boot (trunk).

    Yeah, the fact it is 100v and the steering wheel on the right side, it must be a Japanese Prius which comes with this feature standard in all the trims. Unless UK or AU version comes with the feature... But I don't think the UK uses a 100v outlet. How about AU?

    Definitely a Japanese build. Which could realistically be imported into AU. But no. We do not have the 100v output , the 11 inch screen or sadly the Power seat for the driver.
