Narrative:
While boarding in ZZZ I noticed an electric wheel chair in the jetway. However; the ground crew never told me about it and it didn't come back in the remarks sections. As of now I'm pretty sure we have no way of knowing if there is an electronic wheel chair since they use to put it on the paper cargo report. Now we don't know what kind of battery is hooked up to the chair or if it has been taken care of properly.
