Here's how much it costs to charge your phone every MONTH

If you're wondering whether your teenager's habit of constantly charging their phone is hiking up your electricity bill – here's some reassuring news. While many people charge their phones once a day, others admit to plugging in multiple times due to heavy use or only charging partially. This might lead to the assumption that phone charging is a significant electricity expense. But according to renewable energy specialist Wes Reddy, that's far from the truth. Reddy recently revealed that charging a smartphone once daily for about an hour costs only around R3.60 per month – hardly enough to dent the average household budget. So, while half-charging habits may not be great for your phone's battery health, they're certainly not breaking the bank. @djwesreddy Cost per month to charge your phone #PhoneChargingCost #ElectricitySavings #EnergyTips #SouthAfricaPower #SaveElectricity #TechTips #HomeEnergy #EnergyAwareness #SmartLiving #TikTokEducation #SAcontent #MoneySavingTips #energysaving ♬ original sound – Wes Reddy Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1 Subscribe to The South African website's newsletters and follow us on WhatsApp, Facebook, X and Bluesky for the latest news.
