Sharing Economy-Sharing power bank rental station

Is Power Bank Sharing a STEP towards a Smart Nation?

What with everything seemingly reliant on a “sharing system”, from bicycles to e-scooters and even umbrellas, would power bank sharing be a legitimate alternative to everyone's charging needs?

How many times have we encountered scenarios like this and regret not having charged our phones and/or power banks? Not to mention trying to find power plugs.

The concept of communal charging is certainly not new here, with the “Gift of Power” charging booths and many similar others littered throughout the country.

However, the MAIN hindrance would be its immobility.

Convenience takes precedence in a hectic society like ours and being literally tethered to a charging station constrains our lifestyle

Many locations are places of high traffic, where the customer would NOT have charging ports/cables readily available and wish to carry their phones on hand, say shopping malls, bars, restaurants and train stations.

To businesses hosting these power bank stations,  the providers are positioning their services as an enticing feature to increase patronage to their location as people will be renting and returning power banks at commercial premises.

Inevitably, this would correlate to a rise in buying and selling in businesses and malls.

It is a win-win-win situation, with customers, businesses and providers all benefiting from this concept.
