I have a 2005 Prius and use the outlets for my cell phone and no problem.
It works great recharging as I drive about! Check your Fuse and the load
required for your charger.

As expected it was a fuse. FYI the Prius uses a mini mini fuse that even
the parts guy was suprised by.
Thanks for all your replies.
