How do you use a phone while charging it wirelessly?

I think some automotive holsters do this so you’re not plugging/unplugging it, but still using it for nav/music/handsfree calls.

Which is even more of a waste given the inefficiency of wireless charging and the kWh cost of electricity in an ICE.
