I wonder, would this law also cover if, say, the company manufacturing the toothbrush decided not to supply a power cord with the dock, and just stuck some proprietary cable port on it (not even a DC barrel jack or anything like that)?

    IIRC, all new small electronics sold in EU should support USB-C, but there are some exceptions, which I don't remember. Mostly it was for wirelessly charging devices, like smartwatches and earbuds.

    Btw, does your username have anything to do with the capital of Azerbaijan?
