hahaha guess it boils down to that 😂

but I was specifically wondering if they built the vehicle with a charger and ended up never using it, to their own surprise. or if they knew they'd (almost) never have to charge it

Must have a cable somewhere as a backup otherwise you’d need a full battery replacement should it ever be discharged.
