The two will verify the usability and safety of electric scooter wireless charging solutions for the next six months before they expand to cover Seoul and other regions.

LG said 20 wireless charging “kickspots” are currently available in five parking zones in Bucheon, and they are installed with wireless charging receiver pads, reports Yonhap news agency.

The two companies expect the latest solutions to beef up efficiency in electric scooter sharing services and bring more users. They plan to offer price discounts for users who return their scooters to wireless charging stations.

LG, a board member of Wireless Power Consortium, a multinational alliance in wireless power transfer technology, said it also needs to create further synergy with Kickgoing regarding the personal mobility business.

Kicking, operated by local startup Olulo, started electric scooter sharing services in September 2018 and has secured 1.2 million subscribers here.
