Efficiency?

So what's (no name punnage here) the efficiency of these charging methods compared to bog standard wired approach (optimal and non optimal positioning of phone)?

And what are charge times like in comparison to wired?

Obv main efficiency problem in wired approach is transformer AC to DC conversion and heat generation in charging phone battery itself, but having never had inductive charging phone I have never investigated the kit to see what issues might be present there.

i.e. are there useful gains other than (less messy wires) aesthetics?
