> J1772 is the worldwide standard
No, it's not. It's mostly just used in North America and Japan. The IEC 62196 "Type 2" connector is the standard in Europe and most of the rest of the world. And outside of North America and Japan, Tesla use the standard Type 2 connector on their vehicles, not the proprietary Tesla connector.
North America certainly has a big problem with the lack of connector standardisation, but J1772 is a big part of that problem, not the solution.
