The charger is just a few solenoids very simple device, and they don't get switched with current flowing. So probably last forever, for wall mounted hard wired ones at least.

True I did not count cost of electricity, because it's extremely hard to guess. Some places are .04$/kwh, some are .45/kwh, some are free.

What if you had free charging at work? Or apartment, or had solar, it could be completely free
