If you can do all that while driving, you are pretty good ;-)

My latest 2 cars, both Toyota and 4+ years old, have two-prong 110 AC
outlets that can source about 1 amp before the fuse blows.

Now I want more amperage so I can design spreadsheets on my laptop while
brewing coffee and watching TV on the way to work.!

Perhaps because the cigarette lighter came before electronic gadgets in
vehicles and when gadgets did start to come to market they had to use what
was available with the result that the whole after-market gadget industry
is subsequently geared up to use the lighter socket as a power source

By the way.
I don't understand why cars still don't have specialised sockets for
electronic equipment.
The cigarette sockets likes to lose contact (it is my experience).

Subject: Cigarette socket in vehicles

I have learnt that cigarette sockets supply two voltages: 12 or 24 volts.
12-volt sockets are widely used in light duly vehicles while 24-volt
sockets in heavy duty vehicles.  The sockets are identical in terms of
configuration and dimensions.  Is there any mechanism to prevent a 12-volt
equipment from being plugged in a 24-volt socket?

Thanks,

Scott
