One point missing from this comparison is that cell phones just don’t take all that much electricity to begin with. A very rough calculation is that it takes around 0.2 cents to fully charge a cell phone. You spend maybe around $1 PER YEAR on cell phone charging per phone. Cell phones are just confusingly not energy intensive.

So charging a cell phone for a years-worth of usage costs less than 1/10th of running an efficient LED lightbulb bulb for the full year. Again, cell phones are just confusingly not energy intensive.
