There already is a standard charger in the US, CCS. All fast chargers installed in the last few years have been either Tesla or CCS. All non-Tesla models introduces in the last several years have had CCS faster chargers. Early on Nissan was promoting CHADEMO but that plug type is now deprecated in the US. There are still also J772 level 2 chargers for low speed charging such as at your house, but all vehicles support that as well.
It is true that other markets have their own standards, China and Japan for instance but the number of cars moved between markets is very small.
In Europe, Tesla has switched to CCS. In the US, Tesla has committed to letting CCS cars charge on its network. The CCS network in the US is growing quickly and is in the same general size as Teslas. Thing are coming together.
