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. 207.0V - 243.8 V). Since this fits all of the old voltages
listed below you can probably expect the following voltages to still apply.
