There is a standard that all electric vehicles use for level 1 and 2 charging. It is J1772 standard and every electric vehicle in production today uses it. Some like Tesla use a physical adapter but the standard is all the same.
Level 3 is a different story but there are only three standards presently. Tesla (open to all manufacturers, CCS and Chademo.
The average North American EV uses less than 10 KWH per day. Although some grid upgrading will be required this is not expected to be a big challenge by most utilities. Personally our household is close to about 6 KWH per vehicle and we have two vehicles. We are probably below the average. An additional 20 amp 240 volt circuit per household is more than enough to fill the requirement of the average household. We do half of our charging from a 120 volt 12 amp circuit.
