That's not a very fair comparison.
I'm not worried at all about the power efficiency of my phone's charging process.
Some napkin math suggests that my pocket supercomputer costs me at most about $1 per year to keep charged and running, or perhaps $5 over the life of the phone, when plugged in every night. I wouldn't notice or care if it were an order of magnitude worse than that at $10 per year or $50 over the life of the phone.
So wireless charging of my phone doesn't bother me a bit, and it is something that I use that when it is convenient.
An EV doesn't operate at that scale, though. I would care a lot about losing even 10 or 20% of charging efficiency with an EV.
