　Obayashi and Furukawa Electric Industries have recently developed a wireless charging port system for electric kickboards.With the cooperation of Luup, which develops electric microbility share services, it was announced on December 7, 2021.[See the structure of the wireless charging port in the image] It is said that charging is automatically started by parking a kickboard on a sheet -type power transmission device connected from the power box.It is assumed to be installed on a sharing port in the city.Obayashi -gumi and Furukawa Electric Industries said, "In order to provide services with high satisfaction of users, it is important to create an environment that can be used at any time, and how to manage charging without any hassle, but the conventional charging.In response to the large capacity of batteries and the replacement of rechargeable batteries due to human patrols, the price was to increase the cost of aircraft and increase labor costs. "LUUP is currently operating to take a picture of a regular port on the spot when returning an electric kickboard.If it is possible to charge here, the patrol cost may be significantly reduced.The system will conduct a demonstration experiment at the Obayashi Group's Technical Research Institute until March 2022, and will be studying for commercialization in 2025.
