How wireless charging in public spaces can make a difference

Imagine entering a café, placing your phone on the table—and it charges without a single cable. That’s the power of wireless charging, and it’s rapidly becoming a standard feature in public spaces like airports, parks, malls, and cafés.

But wireless charging isn’t just about convenience. When paired with power bank sharing services like Brick, it offers a flexible, mobile-first charging experience that fits today’s on-the-go lifestyle.

What Is Wireless Charging and Why Is It Useful?

What is wireless charging?

Wireless charging allows your device to recharge without plugging in a cable. Instead, energy transfers wirelessly via electromagnetic induction from a charging pad or surface.

Why does it matter in daily life?

No cables needed
Less wear on your phone’s charging port
Compatible with smartphones, earbuds, smartwatches, and even laptops
Easy to use in busy environments like cafés and airports

Why Public Spaces Are Ideal for Wireless Charging

Where does wireless charging make the most impact?

Airports and transit hubs
Cafés and coworking spaces
Parks and outdoor seating areas
Malls and retail corridors
Event venues and festivals

Public spaces are where people need charging the most but often don’t have cables or outlets handy.

What makes it ideal?

Self-serve and user-friendly
Fast and discreet
No tech skills required
Makes your space more welcoming and modern

What are the limits of wireless charging?

You must stay close to the charging pad
Charging is stationary and less flexible
Charging speeds vary by device

How does Brick solve that?

Power bank sharing covers the mobility gap. With Brick, users can:

Rent a power bank in seconds
Charge on the go (train, walk, shop)
Drop it off at any other Brick station

Together, stationary wireless pads + mobile Brick powerbanks create the ultimate hybrid:

Wireless pads for short breaks
Power banks for continuous mobility

How Can Wireless Charging Be Sustainable?

To be viable in public environments, wireless charging must be:

Durable: built for high traffic and constant use
Universal: works with most modern devices
Accessible: easy for anyone to use
Green: powered by sustainable energy where possible

Brick encourages partners to power both powerbank stations and wireless setups via green energy sources where available.

What Are the Challenges of Public Wireless Charging?

Like any infrastructure upgrade, there are hurdles:

What are the current limitations?

High installation costs
Risk of misuse or damage
User unfamiliarity or confusion
Limited compatibility with older phones
Charging speeds still catching up to cable charging

How is this being addressed?

More robust public charging hardware
Education through signage and app support
Advances in Qi-standard devices and faster protocols
Hybrid solutions using power bank sharing as a bridge

Bridging the Gap with Brick Power Banks

Why do we still need power banks?

Rolling out wireless infrastructure takes time and investment. Not every venue is ready.

Brick powerbanks provide immediate coverage with:

Fast setup
Mobile charging
No fixed infrastructure required
Revenue-sharing for partners
Seamless user experience via app or QR

Until wireless charging reaches full penetration, Brick bridges the accessibility gap.
