    I would not be so sure. Running the starter motor without the clutch enables you to e.g. escape from the railway crossing with the non-operational engine.

    Why not? The phone can only draw as many amps as it's given. So the charger would only give it 500mA and trickle charge the device. It's the reverse you would need to worry about.

    The charger cannot push arbitrary current through the phone at 5 V, the phone is deciding how much it draws.
