Whole lotta bad science goin' on here.
An iPad charging at maximum rate would use only 0.0103% of the power that a wimpy 4 cylinder Corolla engine could produce. It is completely insignificant. More significant is the loss in moving that sludge you call oil that you should have changed 5000 miles ago.
A worn clutch no longer has a linear torque transfer function. At higher applied torque, it transitions into slip friction mode, which transfers very little torque. Rather than having insufficient power to accelerate the car, you now have too much.
A malfunctioning car that cannot accelerate to proper merging speed is as much a hazard to other drivers as one with malfunctioning brakes.
Conclusion: Don't worry about the extra load to charge the iPad, but get the clutch fixed before you kill someone!
