Quit whining and buy an adaptor. And maybe a transformer.

Didn't read the article very closely?

"It said it was a North American standard."

A little confused, North America (or the individual countries) doesn't have a standard for side for gas.

I meant the connector. Point is that electric cars are pretty much just hitting the market and it would be really silly not to internationally agree on a plug for the thing. Since it takes DC power in anyway, you need to convert it from whatever arbitrary voltage AC power your given country has.

Oh, gotcha... I hope they agree on a side of the car also. ATM / Drive Throughs work well, Gas Stations do not.
