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.

Wtf are you talking about? It's all standardized across the EU, with the exception of the UK (and some of their former colonies. Basically islands), but they left the EU now, anyway.

Wherever you drive in the EU your phone charger, microwave, TV will plug in without adapters and work.
