ChargeSPOT Enhances Disaster Preparedness with Guriri Battery Stand Installation

In a significant move to bolster disaster preparedness and promote awareness of its services, ChargeSPOT, a leading mobile battery-sharing service operated by INFORICH, has collaborated with tohoku's popular mascot character, Guriri, to design a new battery stand. This specially designed stand will be installed at the lobby of the headquarters of Tohoku Broadcasting Company, located in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture.

About ChargeSPOT

ChargeSPOT is renowned as Japan's largest mobile battery sharing service, boasting a presence across 47 prefectures with around 55,000 installed units. Their service is not only available in Japan but is also expanding globally into regions like Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Macau, and Australia. To utilize the service, a user can simply scan the QR code on the battery stand using the ChargeSPOT app, making it convenient for both tourists and locals.

Guriri's Role in Disaster Preparedness

The decision to incorporate Guriri, who turns 25 this year, into the design of the battery stand aims to make the ChargeSPOT service feel more accessible and friendly. With Guriri's strong local presence in Miyagi Prefecture, the initiative seeks to enhance the visibility of ChargeSPOT’s offerings while simultaneously reinforcing battery-sharing infrastructure in times of disaster.

The specially designed battery stand will feature a three-dimensional representation of Guriri’s face and tail, creating a whimsical and inviting experience for users. The visual appeal of this stand is intended to attract a diverse audience, encouraging both residents and tourists to engage with the battery-sharing service.

Future Prospects

Looking forward, INFORICH aims to adopt designs featuring other influential characters from various regions to promote mobile battery-sharing services across Japan. This strategic approach is expected to foster a greater understanding and acceptance of the service, ultimately cultivating a robust network of mobile charging stations capable of supporting users during emergencies.
