Aircraft
I took off from ZZZ to ZZZ1 on an IFR flight plan.  Shortly after takeoff I started having problems with my VHF communications radio.  Because of this I cancelled IFR and continued VFR receiving flight following from ATC (radio reception was fine; transmission was not).  Approximately 1.5 hours after takeoff I lost total electrical power leaving me with no communication or navigation radios.  I used my iPad with Foreflight to navigate direct to my destination airport.  I had to enter airspace within 30NM of ZZZ2 class B airspace with no operating ADS-B equipment.  I considered myself an emergency aircraft due to the loss of electrical power; however; I could have landed at a point short of my destination and not entered airspace with 30 NM of ZZZ2.
Cessna 182 pilot reported a total electrical failure occurred; resulting in loss of communication and navigation equipment. The pilot then navigated using their tablet and entered Class B airspace without operating ADS-B equipment.
