Motormouth: Do I need power steering fluid?

Q: Recently I had my oil changed on my 2018 Honda Accord Touring and, on the receipt of services rendered, the power steering fluid box was crossed out. I assume that meant it didn't apply. I researched a little and saw it has "electric" power steering. But I found conflicting info. One place said there is fluid, and it should be changed every 75,000 miles, but the owner's manual doesn't mention power steering fluid.
