The hood above the hob had fallen off. The plugs stripped the wall. Made the holes bigger and used better plugs. Also put in some construction glue into the holes for good measure.

This looks like it’s in Europe where 240 VAC is the norm. This means a lot of power without a lot of current, this means it’s much safer from overheating. Schuko plugs also have a lot of contact area, making the contact resistance very low. On top of that everything is double insulated with heat resistant plastic.
You can easily daisy chain 10 outlets and still pull thousands of watts without any issue. Not recommended, but still possible. The kinds of plugs used are either direct lighting cords (the flatter two prong kind) or small AC-DC adapter plugs (usually providing less than 25W), probably for lighting and the Google smart speaker in the bottom left.
It might look a bit sketchy, but it really isn’t any issue at all.
Yhea this is Europe, as long as you use proper wire (2.5mm2) you can do 112M by the NEN3140 norm. That’s much more than the size of our whole house. So impedance wise we are fine
The person that installed that is far from a professional. This is so sloppy that it doesn’t bode well for the other things in the house. Even if its technically safe the question remains why?
This isn’t installed by a professional, they obviously did this themselves. Which is fine really. The internet can get so uptight about electrical safety due to the amount of Americans online. In Europe something like this is absolutely fine and normal
Because Europe has much safer electrical standards. Apart from that it doesn’t look so tidy there is absolutely nothing wrong with this.
I’m from Europe and abhorred by the practice.
