Seems like these numbers come from the "EcoDesign" regulation. Strange to have two "competing" pieces of legislation https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/24/2377106

  I see, thanks. The other article you just provided clears the matter, the one referenced in the thread seemed to attribute the "exemption" to the "battery regulation" one. But the "battery regulation" is already approved, while the "Ecodesign" is still only a draft (from what I can understand). It will be interesting to see how the EU will solve the "overlapping", it seems to me improbable that they will make in September (after the hypothetical approval of the "ecodesign" draft) an amendment to something approved only a few months before.

    > it seems to me improbable that they will make in September (after the hypothetical approval of the "ecodesign" draft) an amendment to something approved only a few months before. Par for the course with the EU especially when it comes to laws dealing with the environments. See for exemple the regulations linked to the green taxonomy where half of the material is still missing despite the law coming into force and where information about how the law should actually be applied are published months late. The EU is kind of a joke sometimes.
