The Surface Pro 11 no longer ships with a charger in some markets.

Microsoft has stopped including its Surface Pro power supply in markets across Europe to comply with EU initiatives to reduce e-waste. Windows Central noticed that you’ll have to buy one separately (£79.99 or €89.99), because the Surface Pro is technically a tablet. Laptops are currently exempt from the EU’s USB-C charging mandate until next year. Microsoft has also slimmed down its Surface Pro 11 packaging after removing the charger.
