Given an on-the-grid, non-solar house, is it more energy efficient to charge your phone in your house or in your car? If there would be a difference for gas-powered and electric vehicles, please explain that as well.

Original intent of my question involved charging the phone off the car while driving, though even if one wasn’t driving you could charge off the car battery without turning on the car rather than starting the car engine which, of course, would be crazily inefficient.

It’s interesting there isn’t a consensus answer to this. I did wonder if the charge from the car would somehow be free in the same way the heat in the car is “free.”
