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?

For the AMD version, if you're going for an almost all Type A layout or something, it's handy to note that the Type A expansion card have idle power issues in the back ports.
