How many amps does the actual cigarette lighter PLUG in car draw?

The cigarette lighter plug in a car typically draws around 10 to 15 amps. This value may vary depending on the specific vehicle model and the type of cigarette lighter plug being used. It's important to note that exceeding the maximum amperage rating of the cigarette lighter plug or the car's electrical system can cause damage or even a fire. Therefore, it's always recommended to check the owner's manual or consult with a qualified automotive electrician before using high-power devices or connecting additional accessories to the cigarette lighter port.
