Simpler: use a smart wallplug, configure your bios to always start after powerloss.
I actually tried something like this, the laptop BIOS didn't have any settings to tweak for A/C power changes. However, it does wake from sleep after plugging in. The issue is, it immediately goes back to sleep (within seconds). Tried quite a few things to try to stop that behavior (e.g. running Power Toys Awake) but had no luck.
So that's when I switched to ESP Keyboard.
Ah yes, because it's a laptop, I know lots of desktop have the option tho.
I think most laptop’s still have the option of whether to boot or not when you plug them in with a dead battery.
