This chart shows the voltages and plug styles used
throughout the world. Note that some countries have changed their standards, and some have
multiple standards. Energy consumption per wall plug is typically not dependent on
voltage.

| Note, the European Commission bureaucrats
have mandated that all EU countries standardize to 230V -10% +6% (i.e. 207.0 V-243.8 V). Since
this fits all of the old voltages listed below you can probably expect the following voltages
to still apply. |
