In addition to the various manufacturer's rationales for charge port location mentioned in the article, I've also seen another: in Japan people are apparently more likely to back into garages, while in the U.S. most people drive into their garages nose first. The only universally ideal solution I can think of would be a wireless charging pad positioned dead-center on the car's underside, so it wouldn't matter whether you parked nose in, back in, or on the left or right side of the street.
