3R Corporation (Headquarters: Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, President: Yoichi Imamura) announced that it will sequentially install the mobile battery sharing service '+% PLUS PERCENT' (hereinafter 'Plupa') at 7 stations operated by Nishi-Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd. (Tenjin-Omuta Line and Kaizuka Line) starting April 1, 2026.
Each Nishitetsu station serves as a major transportation hub in Fukuoka, utilized by commuters, students, and tourists.
This installation aims to improve convenience for transit users and create a city where people can feel secure, supporting an initiative to build a 'mobile environment where charging is possible.'
As the use of smartphones becomes indispensable in daily life and during transit, there are still many instances where people struggle with charging while out and about.
Especially at transportation hubs like train stations, there are many opportunities to use smartphones while traveling or waiting, making the provision of a charging environment an essential part of user support.
With this installation, station users can easily rent a battery via a smartphone app and travel to their destination while charging.
Because it is a sharing-type service where the battery can be returned at a different location from where it was rented, it can be utilized as a highly flexible mobile infrastructure during 'mid-journey' or 'between commutes.'
Starting from Fukuoka, 3R is advancing the development of charging infrastructure that leads to improved convenience in cooperation with regional transportation, commercial, and public services.
Moving forward, the company will accelerate collaboration with local businesses and municipalities to provide an accessible and comfortable environment for users.
