If you believe in point particles or strings you cannot answer this question
My model of particles can tell you what charge is.
Can it do so in an experimentally-testable manner?

Go on then.

I computed it on a computer: Er(θ) falls off like the graph of the black body spectrum with θ, Er(r) falls off like a 1/r function, just shifted to the right (with r), and Er(z) looks similarly.
I can; I did.
Now how would you test that in an actual, real-world experiment?
Construct two parallel plates with a voltage over them and shoot electrons through the space between them. Let the electrons register on a florescent screen. Then one can work out how much they should be deflected.
A moving electron has a field. I assume it moving.
This single particle state called the electron has both negative charge and mass. This means that negative charge is in an interchangeable equilibrium with mass via a unified type force that makes two properties into one particle.
The Standard theory needs an update.
Not from my point of view. I stubbornly insist on moving alongside the electron.
In the experiment we can replace the electric field with a magnetic field, then the weirdness will show (hopefully).
That experiment gets done every day, to quite high precision, and we know that the answer is exactly what we expect from conventional physics.If it was not, then electron microscopes would not work.
My model explains why Anyons have e/3 charge
