That's a Nato type socket (female) and powers up anything that you have suitably wired with a male Nato connection. A little like the tow ball electric socket. Same but different. It's a universal type socket used worldwide, more popular in some places than others. (armed forces etc).

Now - hopefully you can open it. Some owners have had problems with that, even using channel locks - so good to put in a little anti-seize compound
Thank you for this. I may never use mine but if I don't use it until 5 years from now it's only going to be more difficult. The storage compartment on the spare is the same way, better to take it off on a sunny day on your driveway than a cold winter's night.

Ok just hoping to help here….
When picking Shiitake up from remedial work at the dealer I asked them to show me how to remove this plug cover…🤣
Three employees had a go and then they returned her to the workshop for unseen methods. Here is the result which they are obviously going to replace when supplied with a new one. 😁👍🏼
I am considering using this plug for direct input from a regulated solar source and wanted to have access. This vehicle was probably manufactured in early 2023 (vin 193) and this plug probably hadn’t been removed until last week.
I suggest anyone wishing to use this, if it’s mounted, needs to remove the cover and probably apply some grease or other anti seize product. 👍🏼

Oh that looks like war crimes were committed! “Unseen methods” - sounds nefarious.

Looks like they put the apprentice onto it with a hammer...
