<p>We present and investigate charged wormhole solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell equations supported by anisotropic matter fields, with the purpose of establishing their physical plausibility as traversable wormholes. To this end, we examine the flare-out condition and evaluate tidal forces to confirm their traversability. We also analyze light deflection around these wormholes to provide observational implications. In addition, we attempt to construct rotating generalizations of the solutions by applying and modifying the Newman–Janis algorithm. Our results suggest that the obtained geometries offer a concrete realization of the concept of “charge without charge”.</p>
