However it's still true that a universal charger should be OK. Now I am curious, where in Europe is not 240v? You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost!

Since about 2003, it's nominally 230V (-10% +6%) , 50hz. My wisdom is learned from the experience of others.

Mainland Europe used to be mostly 220v and the UK 240v. But, what's 10v between friends?  Yeah like here we talk about 110-120v because the actual voltage supplied can fall within a range.
