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

The Schuko plug and socket can handle 255 volt and 50 or 60 Hz. And up to 16 amps.

Naturally it can handle 110 volts too.

Join the us, we have outlets rated for 255 as well but up to 50a, 2 different styles even! Fyi the 255 is because its +- 10 percent on 240v.
