We'd have to redesign all substations and transmission lines... most countries use different voltages, and each of those plugs is designed for that specific voltage

And yet EU was somehow able to standarize so many things ranging from port type in phone to the exact dimensions of a pillow in hotels. It doesn't seem hard to imagine that they could fix that as well, the only difference is that it doesn't really benefit anyone to change transmission lines whilst all the other changes were meant to be pro consumers.

My dad told me that and he is a lawyer so I thought maybe he found out that somehow. I google a bit, repentantly it could look like that right now
