Technically, yes it is a solution but still build to more than one
standard. The EU plug was proposed by Volex long time ago but seems no
more talk about EU plug any more. Like UK, so far still 240 Vac
whereas it says 230Vac country.
There is no point in considering such matters without taking into
account two absolutely vital issues:
1. How do we get there from here?
- changing some 10 billion wall-sockets and plugs Europe-wide, because
using adapters just perpetuates the present situation and makes it more
complicated still;
- changing the mains voltage from 230 V +4.34% to 230 V +/-0% (even if
it were possible to have a zero tolerance) reduces the system capacity
by 8.7%.
2. What will it cost?
In view of 1. above, this hardly need any comment.
