The car cigarette lighter socket is also called a cigar lighter receptacle, since it was originally designed as a lighter for cigars—hence its rather large size (and unheated center barely large enough to light a cigarette).
the electricity is DC

Would you consider that a professional term to use when conducting business?

I'll just go with receptacle. Thanks.

What kind of business? Everyone I know calls it the cigarette lighter

a lot of cars now don't actually have the cigarette lighter thing, they just have the 12 volt receptacle where you can plug in a cell phone charger or laptop charger and I believe they refer to it as a....12volt receptacle.
