Radio Equipment Directive (2022)
In 2021, the
European Commission proposed the use of USB-C as a
universal charger.
[98][99][100] On 4 October 2022, the
European Parliament voted in favor of the new law,
Radio Equipment Directive 2022/2380, with 602 votes in favor, 13 against and 8 abstentions.
[101] The regulation requires that all new mobile phones, tablets, cameras, headphones, headsets, handheld video game consoles, portable speakers, e-readers, keyboards, mice, portable navigation systems, and earbuds sold in the European Union and supporting wired charging, would have to be equipped with a USB-C port and charge with a standard USB-C to USB-C cable by the end of 2024. Additionally, if these devices support fast charging, they must support
USB Power Delivery. These regulations will extend to laptops by early 2026.
[102] To comply with these regulations,
Apple Inc. replaced its proprietary Lightning connector with USB-C beginning with the
iPhone 15 and
AirPods Prosecond generation, released in 2023.

Ken Pillonel.

In late December 2024, new EU regulations took effect, mandating USB-C charging ports for all small and medium-sized electronic devices sold in the EU, with laptops to follow by 2026. These rules were aimed at reducing waste and saving €250 million annually for consumers. Apple, which initially opposed the changes, had since adopted USB-C for its products. Additionally, consumers can opt not to receive a new charger with their device.
