Does the cigarette lighter charge a phone faster than the USB options next to it or in the console??

The cig lighter adapter has a amp rating, see what the out put is. Most USB3 is .9 amp... usb2 is .5amp.

faster charge = faster discharge.. my phone charges at 3 amps and dies really quickly. put it on .5 amp and it lasts all day...but takes all night to charge

Depends on the charger you plug into the cig lighter, even though the port itself can do 2.0A that charger may be anything at or below that. Fast charging can reduce battery life in the long run, though many smartphones these days are getting, well, smarter about that. Save the fast charging for 'oh crap' moments, do standard charging as much as possible when you have nothing but time. Check the amperage of the charger your phone came with and stay as close to that number as you can.
