Read the latest patch notes...

1. It's a brand new flashlight
2. That actually isn't in the game yet, it was highlighted in one of the recent posts but the recharging station is not actually released.

::Looks at the charging station next to his dehumidifier and oven:: It's in the game for sure. Was added W127 two weeks ago. A brand new flashlight should be fully charged though.

Does your flashlight work in hand? I don't ever use it in the slot because of the shadows it throws.

Flashlight no, just the rag and biofuel torches. Looking again and I do not have the recharging station anywhere in my tech trees. Tech trees are maxed T1-T3 and almost complete for T4 and as far as I can tell my game is fully up to date with the Laika release.

Is the charging station part of an experimental beta build?

I can confirm the charging station is in the game. Its found in tier 4 right next to the flashlight.
Do you have mods installed?

The charging station was released on the main branch a couple weeks back. It's found on the last tech page as a prerequisite to the flashlight: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3249578594 I checked my flashlight, works both in hand from a hotbar slot and in the Light Slot. They even centered it in the light slot so it's probably much more usable there now.

If you don't have the charging station either a mod hasn't been updated properly, an old mod hasn't been removed properly, or you need to do a game update. Those are the most likely causes.
