@kaia @chjara @coolboymew it is, but it is also neglectable i think.

found this source for germany:

Bei 97,4 Millionen Handys in deutschen Haushalten entspricht das etwa 3,3 kWh/Jahr für jedes Mobiltelefon zuzüglich 31,9 kWh/Jahr pro Mobiltelefon für die Mobilfunkinfrastruktur.

97,4 phones used in germany

3.3 kwh per year for each phone

31.9kwh per phone per year for phone infrastructure


phones are very weak regarding the sending/receiving power and thats why the other sender/receiver has to be much much more powerfull

charging with induction roughly need 50% more energy.

so instead of 35.2kwh per phone per year total it is a wasteful, sinful, detestable
36.85 kwh per phone per year

think of the children!
