Why doesn’t my new iPad come with a charger?

Yes, given your location, this is entirely normal...

Current models of iPad and iPhone supplied within the European Union (EU) and United Kingdom (UK) do not include a Power Adapter in the box. Apple's EU and UK websites clearly state that only a Charging Cable is included with iPad.

In these countries/regions, the Power Adapter (if required) is now an additional purchase.

UK: https://store.apple.com/uk/xc/product/MUVT3B/A

EU: Achetez l’adaptateur secteur USB‑C 20 W - Apple (FR)

No, not normal. All iPads come with a charger.

Where did you buy this from exactly?

The charger is in a tray at the bottom of the box, it's covered by the paper work packet.

iPad models sold within the UK and EU Member States are supplied with only a USB charging cable. If you don't already have a suitable USB-C Power Adapter, that supports USB PD (Power Delivery), the USB Power Adapter is an additional purchase.
