That's what I currently have, but it requires access to turn on/off so I can't put it inside of the console. I guess what I'm looking for is one that can be switched (externally), has an automatic switch (turns on when something is plugged in), or always on.

There is a enough open space behind back seat for a small inverter. Gap below seat to run plugs/ cable
Good job, that looks good and pro!The poverty-spec 23 Hybrid comes with only a cigarette lighter power point for the rear seats, located in the back of the center arm rest console. I prefer to have USB ports, and this Amazon dual USB-A port has both a power button and a voltage indicator, so it should do the trick.
The cover is quite deep, and it has six tabs that hold it in place.
Before you can pull it back and off, however, you need to remove two 10mm bolts, one on each side down low. Push both front seats all the way forward to make removal easier.
Inside that cover is a lot of empty space on the XL, probably inhabited by the various plugs available on higher trims and more options. The pass through on the bottom has only a single wire on the XL, and inside is where the inverter lives on higher trims.
The single wire for the cigarette lighter shows white as hot and blue as ground.
Using your favorite wire tap and splice technique, add the USB wiring.
The hole that the cigarette lighter has two tabs that are easy to remove with a Dremel tool. Use the lock nut to hold the USB port in place.

Sticks out too far. Passengers keep smacking into it and cracking the housing. So now no one has access to a charger in the rear.
or for lazy people - $2.99
