Adding a new power outlet

I only have one power outlet (in the armrest compartment).  Any thoughts on where to add one or more?  I want it to look natural so it looks like it should be there.  There is a blank panel just above the small storage area just under the radio, can this be accessed?

    Have you thought about using the existing power outlet and expand with an adapter then it's all out of sight and only a few cables running into it.

    Plenty available here:

    Yes, it will be a last choice if necessary.

    If it's the cigarette type socket you want to add then on mine I have an extra outlet under the glove box that was fitted at the factory.
