Hello steemit crew!
Can anyone explain me for which use is this 230 V connector on Mercedes ?
Did Mercedes develop a electric car ? :D

Thank you @dman57 .Who knows what that really is

Thanks

Engine block heater?

interesting idea. Thanks for comment!

Plug for engine heating or a battery charger.

built-in battery charger ?

I had a small battery charger bolted in place under the bonnet of my 1972 Citroën DS, because I didn't drive it much in winter and I wanted to keep the battery topped off.

nice idea if you have enough space for it :)

Have you ever seen the size of the bonnet of a DS? You can sleep under it, next to the spare wheel 8-).

hahah now I see after I googled it :D

I had what @orcdu said.
In winter, going only short distance, the battery would be drained all the time.
Diesel Engines can take quite some energy to start in winter.

Makes sense. It is really nice thing to have in old diesel's. Thanks for commenting!

Maybe it is some exotic jump starting arrangement:)

Maybe it's main task to confuse passers.. Some of them will thought about it all day or even post it on internet to get an answer?! ;)

Thank you for posting fibra59. Interesting....

Appreciate your support.

Thank you @bleujay ! You're welcome :)

Maybe it is for an indoor heater...cold engine but warm ears ;) and no you not just see it in split...my car looks similar!

It could be. Do you have 230 V connector ? Thanks for your comment !
