■What is "ChargeSPOT"?
ChargeSPOT02.pngWhenever you run out of battery while you're out and don't have your charger or cord with you and need to borrow one, you can rent a portable smartphone charger at the nearest charging spot and return it to another charging spot. For example, this is a sharing service that allows you to borrow and lend chargers across borders; for example, you can borrow a charger at Shibuya Station and return it at a cafe in Omotesando, or borrow one in Tokyo and return it in Hong Kong. In addition to the dedicated ChargeSPOT app, it can also be used as a mini-program within WeChat, China's most popular social networking app with over 1 billion users.

■How to use "ChargeSPOT"
(1) Download the application and register an account.
(2) Search for the location of the battery stand, go to that location, and scan the QR code displayed on the machine screen.
