It had been in the works for a while, but now it has formally been adopted. From the article:
The regulation provides that by 2027 portable batteries incorporated into appliances should be removable and replaceable by the end-user, leaving sufficient time for operators to adapt the design of their products to this requirement.
If there was an another model with removable battery they would intentionally make it a lot more expensive even if the production cost isn’t that different. That defeats the whole point of doing all of this if you give them any chance for them to exploit something. I am just happy that this is happening and I am jealous this isn’t in my country.
