Default Cigarette lighter socket in the trunk

I want to install a 12V cigarette lighter socket in the trunk (for connecting a travel fridge). What’s the shortest/easiest way to run power to it? Can I find a power source somewhere in the cabin, or do I have to run it directly from the battery? Camry MR '22

There should be a fuse box behind the driver's side dashboard. Can use a fuse tap on a circuit that has enough constant power.

The trunk light circuit should have constant power, but the amps may not be enough.

Might run a fused wire direct from the battery along the driver's side frame rail as this should already have wiring present that goes to the trunk.

There are fuses on the driver's side — do you happen to have a fuse diagram? That would help me know which one I can tap into. Just to add, my car is a hybrid version.

Don't have schematic.

Is there something in the owner's manual?

For $25 one can access Toyota service info for 2 days at the website below.
