The plug looks like an old style UK (BS 546 ) or a South African one …. The Swiss plug (which it should use) looks a bit different …)
Protoscar? I know it’s a touch pedantic but the prefix “proto-X” refers to early, original or ancestor of “X”.
It amuses me when companies get caught up in fancy sounding buzzwords.
It is very easy to make an electric car, all you need is 3D rendering software.

“It is very easy to make an electric car, all you need is 3D rendering software.”
As in “a car made entirely out of electrons”.

It’s not very difficult at all to make an electric car, all you need is 3D rendering software.
True. Huge tax subsidies from a poorly-run, nearly-bankrupt state government for your pie-in-the-sky electric sedan help quite a bit, too.
The pin arrangement is South African, but I don’t recognise the circular housing.
Presumably it’s designed for outdoors use. I imagine the socket would point downwards to keep the rain out, and when plugged in, the join would be watertight.
Hmmmm…. what would happen with that arrangement if you drove off with the car plugged in? Would an interlock system prevent the car moving while charging or if the cord was extended?
Lots of details to be sorted out with any new technology.

Guess what? All cars are made out of electrons. The electrons in the atoms! Ha!

Touche!
That’s not a schooner, it’s a sailboat.

To my eyes it looks like a IEC 60309 16A 2P+E plug, which is used in all of Europe in that shape.
Which would even make sense in this application, completely unlike BS 546, which would be… BS.
