Question About Framework Ports (lemmy.jelliefrontier.net)

I'm configuring a Framework 13, and while selecting the ports, I came across a question that I couldn't determine from the pictures, product pages, or configurator:

Is there a dedicated USB-C port for docking and charging? That is, to say, if I don't choose USB-C for at least one of the expansion ports, will I still be able to plug it in to a USB-C dock? If not, how will I charge the laptop? Is there a dedicated charging port?

Just tangential, since Framework puts an emphasis on repeatability I wonder how easy it is to replace a USB-C port on the motherboard? Something relatively easy to remove and solder a new one on, or are they even directly soldered?
