contents Einstein's Field Equations have proven applicable across many scales, from black holes to cosmology. Even the mysterious Cosmological Constant found a physical interpretation in the so-called ``dark energy'' causing the accelerated cosmic expansion as inferred from multiple observables. Yet, we still lack a material source for this dark fluid. Probing the local universe to find it yields complementary information to the one from the cosmic microwave background. Could dark energy be sourced by super-extremal charged black holes? Contrary to intuition, such objects could exist with only weak observational signatures. The latter are introduced here to outline how sky surveys can identify individual candidates which challenge Cosmic Censorship on the one hand but may explain the physical origin of the Cosmological Constant on the other.
