usb ports are useless

charging current is only the minimum USB 2.0 spec of 500mA which is ancient... c'mon, this is an omission. The new Civic has a 1.5Amp port. My Nexus 6P charged only 10% in 1 hour using the port in my car which is ridiculous. Amphere app measured about 390 mA being supplied on a consistent basis. For the record my Nexus 6P requires a full 3000 mA to charge at full speed. I understand that having 3 Amps available is an unrealistic expectation but at least provide 1.5 like the new Civic does.

I sometimes don't really understand how the engineers can be so thorough with some aspects of the car and not give a F about some other aspects that are much more visible.
