One meter is fine. Put the charger on my desk to charge while I work, in the car to charge while I commute, on the nightstand to charge while I sleep.
As for the inverse square law, so what. To get a few watts into the device at one meter, let's say it takes 25 watts in the charger. Not a big deal, especially if it has some sort of anti-vampire tech to sense and power up only when a device is in range.
