I would expect the charger to have a bridge rectifier at its input, preventing the charger from supplying power. There may be a small amount of energy available in the EMC filter, but that should be less than normal line surges that a robust product has to deal with.
That said, far too much stuff nowadays isn't robust and well engineered, it's cheap so people will buy it. It's also definitely a good idea to have the breakers ganged together in a 240V setup.
