No, they don’t.

When EV (Electric Vehicles) we’re starting to become a thing, there was an effort to try to make one standard plug. Buuuuttttt capitalism being capitalism each company made their own standard and tried to get everyone else to use that, because then they could make more money.

Nowadays due to this lack of uniformity most electric cars either come with or you can buy adapters to let you plug them in to any of the kinds.

But truly just picking one design and forcing that to be a standard would have to be done by the government
