Shared power banks are a typical example of the sharing economy. They provide users with convenient charging services by deploying rental equipment in public places such as shopping malls, restaurants, cinemas, and transportation hubs. Users can rent power banks by scanning a code to pay a deposit or using credit points and are charged by the hour. After use, they must return the power banks to designated return points.
