I may be wrong, but in-car cup holders seem to be a mostly US-only phenomenon. It might be that Europeans simply don't live in their cars like Statesiders, or that our coffee tends to be smaller -- espresso sized rather than delivered in buckets, the weak, watery brew sucked through a plastic teat while sitting safely inside the protective steel and rubber womb.
Which is a shame, as this little cup-holder mounted gizmo looks genuinely useful. The $30 Coffee Cup Power Inverter plugs into the 12v cigarette lighter socket and up-converts the power to 120v AC. There's even a USB socket on there for charging iPods and the like. The unit can supply a continuous 200 watts, so unless you're hooking up hair dryers and soldering irons, you should be good for anything. Actually, I've just thought of another reason this wouldn't work here in Europe (aside from us needing 220v to power our gear): We tend to use our car cigarette lighters for lighting our cigarettes.
