Wireless charging can consume up to 104 percent more energy than wired charging on your phone.
About half of the energy generated in the course of wireless charging never makes it to your battery.
Wireless charging also creates heat, which could harm your battery over time.
If you replace the battery or the whole phone, it costs you money while the lost energy and e-waste causes environmental harm.
iFixit found that it would take 73 coal power plants running for a day to charge the 3.5 billion smartphone batteries wirelessly.
The best advice is simply to practice good charging hygiene and use wired charging as often as possible.
There are some other ways you can make wireless charging less problematic for your devices and the environment.
