Charge IS conserved!

The C in CPT is not only a change f charge but also a change of electron <---> positron, and quark <---> antiquark, and ...

The conservation or charge comes from the U(1) gauge symmetry. That is almost obvious if you ignore the mixing with the weak interaction, but after the mix you still have a U(1) gauge symmetry anyway.
