However, like Kristen, I have tons of them at home that are no longer needed and it seems like a waste. I was referring to having to buy the car charger, not the one that plugs in the wall.

So much waste is created when phones die and the charger is still fine but unusable. This idea should be pushed and expanded. I agree!

I wouldn't have to buy new ones everytime I get a new phone." All of the phones I've had have come with a charger. So I'm cool either way. @Susan St. Clair: "Having cell chargers be compatible would be a huge convenience. I wouldn't have to buy new ones everytime I get a new phone."
