I was in Italy recently, and I could ONLY buy single use. I fucking hated it as it died in two days making me throw out an otherwise fine device - just because there's no charging port.

Now I have one lasting for almost half a year, and that's only the taste that dissappears - not the battery becoming bad.

I believe the regulations about replaceable batteries will apply here but they are only coming to life in 2025 or even later.

Aah okay! It's good to know.
