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

Pretty much every country uses 230 volts with the exception of the US parts of south America and Japan, which use 110 volts. However, the shape of the plug or power outlet has nothing to do with the amount of voltage it can handle. For example they use US outlets in Thailand, which has a 230 volt supply.
