I figured someone HAD to be making an adapter. It is just electricity, and that can easily be converted.

I suspect like Betamax vs VHS eventually we will have an single standard country wide. In the meantime charging adapters can't be too hard to make. I will not need one for many years, but any obvious market like an adapter will find a vendor pretty quick.
It would be like having a car that can only fill up at Conoco stations and nowhere else.
