Is it safe to leave MagSafe wireless charger plugged in?

I've just bought the Apple MagSafe wireless charger with the Apple 30W USB-C Power Adapter for my new iPhone 16 Pro Max.

The main reason for getting a wireless charger was to avoid repeatedly connecting/disconnecting a cable to/from my iPhone's USB-C port.

So is it safe to leave the charger and adapter permanently connected to the AC 'wall' (actually via a power distribution strip) outlet?

I appreciate that I can (and should) set my iPhone's maximum charge level to, say, 80%. And that it will stop charging when it reaches that.

But if i leave the adapter connected, am I risking damaging 110v circuitry; and/or overheating anything etc, please?

iPhone 16 Pro Max, iOS 18

no, if not current is being drawn by a connected device then all the current the is being drawn is the idle overhead that the transformer that transfer 110/240 volt ac to 5volt dc uses, so a bit but likely not something you will notice on your electric bill or that will make your house catch fire.
