Why it matters
The deal turns a battery rental network into in-game infrastructure, so the places where players already stop to charge become the places they stop to play.

In Japan, about 2,700 locations appear at the start, with plans to expand to a maximum of 20,000.
The nine target markets are Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Italy, Australia, and the United States. Not every CHARGESPOT unit goes live at once; the rollout is sequential, and the company advises checking in the game whether a given station has become a PokeStop or Gym.
CHARGESPOT had about 64,000 units installed across all 47 prefectures in Japan as of September 2026, so the Japanese share of the partnership covers a fraction of the domestic network at launch. The pitch pairs item collection and raid battles with battery rental at the same spot.
