Default Center Console USB Outlet Capabilities?

I have an IS 500 Ultimate Edition coming in mid-Dec to a dealer in RI. I'm planning on road tripping it back to VA. I'm starting to gather a few things I'll need for the trip and one of them is mounting and charging my phone. I'm trying to find out details on the USB outlets inside the center console/armrest but I can't find pics or much information. Can an owner help me?

Are they USB-A or USB-C outlets? How many are there? Are they Quick Charge/3.0A capable?

Thank you!

There are two USB-A outlets under the center armrest along with an aux port and a 12-volt outlet.

In my experience, I don't know if the ports are able to quick charge but are certainly quicker than wireless chargers I've used in other Lexus vehicles I've driven, and they certainly will recharge my phone to 100% if I drive any significant distance.

You could also make use of that 12-volt port with this:

Awesome, thank you for the info! I'm going to buy a 12V charging plug too as a backup like @Flying3 suggested.
