The United Kingdom, Ireland, and Malta use the BS 4573 two-pin plug and socket for electric shavers and toothbrushes. [18] The plug has insulated sleeves on the pins. Although similar to the Europlug Type C, the diameter and spacing of the pins are slightly different and hence it will not fit into a Schuko socket. There are, however, two-pin ...
World Plugs includes some history, a description of plug types, and a list of countries giving the type(s) used and the mains voltage and frequency. Although useful for quick reference, especially for travellers, IEC World Plugs may not be regarded as totally accurate, as illustrated by the examples in the plugs section below, and errors may exist.
Example of a Europlug. The Europlug is a flat, non-rewirable two-pole, round-pin domestic AC power plug, rated for voltages up to 250 V and currents up to 2.5 A. [1] It is a compromise design intended to connect low-power Class II appliances safely to the many different forms of round-pin domestic power socket used across Europe.
As of October 2021, the Maltese government offers subsidies of up to €12,000 for electric vehicle purchases. [2] As of January 2023, electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles with an electric range of at least 50 kilometres (31 mi) are exempt from registration tax.

Schuko sockets can accept two-pin unearthed Europlug (CEE 7/16) and CEE 7/17. Less safely, Schuko plugs can be inserted into many two-pin unearthed CEE 7/1 sockets and into some sockets with a different form of earth connection that will not mate with the earth contacts on the Schuko plug (e.g., some variants of the Danish socket).

The European Union Directive 2009/28/EC set Malta's target share of renewable energy at 10% by the year 2020. [10] The National Renewable Energy Action Plan for Malta was submitted in July 2010. According to the NREAP, Malta's renewable energy mix in 2020 was intended to be: Transport: 37 ktoe; Wind: 0.3 TW or 22 ktoe; Biomass: 0.1 TW or 12 ktoe
