I don't have access to "walking out to the garage to check" a 2016, but I can say that my 2015 has a door on the inverter plug that says, "AC 110V 150W"

At any rate, even with a 400 watt inverter you're not going to power a battery charger that requires 9 amps to operate, nor will it power a shore power line from an RV (as the OP was hoping to do).....
It all comes down to the need for a generator of some sort. Solar, for me, doesn't always satisfy...like when you need to power the diesel's block heater on those cold mornings.
