In a world that is obsessed with mobile phones,
PDAs, iPods and the like, we are perpetually draining and recharging
our batteries. In-home refuelling is a cinch, but the same cannot be
said for public places where electrical outlets are typically guarded
against unauthorized recharging.
The ChargeBox
offers a solution, which consists of 6 small lockers, each with 4
unique chargers that can power 90% of our mobile devices. Users simply
plug in to the charger that corresponds to their device, make payment
with a coin or via SMS, lock their box and return when charging is
complete. The ChargeBox will top up your battery for 40 minutes at a
cost of £1. Already a big hit in parts of East Asia and the UK,
it's only a matter of time before ChargeBoxes spring up in a mall,
airport, or coffee shop near you. by Harold C via Springwise
