INFORICH, operator of the mobile battery sharing service “ChargeSPOT®,” (Head Office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Group CEO: Hironobu Akiyama; hereinafter “INFORICH”) has partnered with Seven-Eleven Japan Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Seven-Eleven”) to launch a proof-of-concept for the rental service “ChargeSPOT mobile Wi-Fi” at 18 Seven-Eleven stores in Tokyo, starting on, September 18, 2025.

■  Background of the Proof-of-Concept
In recent years, the use of digital devices such as smartphones and tablets has become a part of daily life. Along with this, demand for temporary internet access—whether during travel, for short-term use due to data shortages, or for inbound tourists visiting Japan—has been steadily increasing.

Currently, “ChargeSPOT” is available at approximately 9,000 Seven-Eleven stores nationwide. By combining internet connectivity with charging at these locations, the company expects to enhance user convenience, which led to the launch of this proof-of-concept.
