CHARGESPOT Surpasses 10,000 Installations at FamilyMart

In a significant milestone for the mobile battery sharing ecosystem, INFORICH Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has announced that its service, CHARGESPOT™, has achieved over 10,000 installations at FamilyMart outlets across Japan. This marks an unprecedented achievement for any company in the country regarding battery rental services, celebrated as of June 2026.

Expanding the Service Several Key Reasons

Currently, CHARGESPOT operates approximately 60,000 units throughout the nation.
