That article states just this month that they are looking at banning them not that they already have banned them. Do you have information that they did already ban them?

but non-standard retractable door handles are popular on a variety of EVs and other tech-forward cars sold in markets around the glob

Also after reading over the full article I can't get over this one sentence right here....

On NPR they were saying it's pretty much a done deal to ban them by 2027 but I just grabbed the first link I came across. Also tbf they weren't excluding you from having electronic openers, they just were requiring them to have mechanical backups.
