Question 2018 XC60 120 volt receptacle

Do any of you know why the 120 volt socket, as listed in the Owner's Manual, is not in the rear of the center console as described?
This afternoon while at a dealership, I briefly spoke with the Volvo factory rep who happened to be there for a meeting, who stated
"it is only on the European models". This does not make any sense, as the last time I checked, Europe did not use
120 VAC as we do here in the United States, and every time I've been to Europe, I needed an adapter to use local electrical outlets. Without this outlet it will be very difficult to use a laptop computer's charging cord!

Please respond if you know the answer.

Thanks

why not charge your laptop using the USB port? Way better than buying a 12V to 120 AC power inverter.
