The EU relaxes its replaceable batttery rules for smart glasses after US pressure.
Smart glasses are in European regulators’ and lawmakers’ crosshairs over privacy and surveillance concerns.
But the bloc’s batteries regulation also held up the EU rollout of Meta’s latest model in recent months because the glasses’ built-in batteries cannot be easily removed and replaced.

📰 CATL says sodium batteries are mainstream-ready, signs massive 60 GWh deal
🗒 "Sodium is roughly 1,000 times more abundant in the Earth’s crust than lithium and far cheaper to source, which makes sodium-ion batteries a compelling alternative for applications where cost matters more than maximum energy density — particularly grid-scale energy storage."
