01How renting works

Rent it. Charge it. Drop it back.

For the moment someone glances at their phone, sees 5%, and still has the whole evening ahead of them.

Rent

Scan the code on the station's screen and pay on your phone. A charged power bank slides out of its hatch.

Finished? Pop it into any ChargeHatch station with a free hatch. It doesn't have to be the one you took it from.

02The deal

Nothing to buy. A share of every rental.

We supply the station, install it, keep it running and handle every payment. Your venue provides the spot and earns a percentage of what it takes.

  • Free for your venue

    The station is supplied and installed at no cost. There's no equipment to buy and nothing to pay upfront.

  • Earn from every rental

    A percentage of the rental revenue made at your station comes back to you. Nothing to sell, nothing to stock.

  • Happier customers

    People stay connected without hunting for a socket, and there's one less reason for them to head off early.

  • Fully managed

    We look after the hardware, the technology, payments, maintenance and support. Your team just points people towards it.

04Where it fits

Made for places people spend time.

Someone at the table is always on 3%. Now they can sort it without leaving the round.

05The network

Rent here. Return anywhere.

Every venue that hosts a station adds a drop-off point for everyone else. Customers aren't tied to the place they rented from, which makes them happier to rent in the first place.

One power bank, one evening

  1. 18:40 Café by the station Rents a power bank Phone 6%
  2. 19:15 On the train Charging on the way Phone 34%
  3. 20:05 Dinner in town Still charging Phone 61%
  4. 22:30 Music venue Tickets, photos, taxi app Phone 88%
  5. 23:45 Pub near home Returns it Phone 100%

The plan is a ChargeHatch station wherever people spend their time, until a charge is as easy to find as the Wi-Fi.

06Questions

Questions venues ask.

Something we haven't covered? Email hello@chargehatch.co.uk and we'll come back to you.

Yes. We supply and install the station at no cost and look after it from then on. There's no equipment to buy and nothing to pay upfront.

You earn a percentage of the rental revenue generated at your location. We agree the exact terms with each venue before a station goes in.

Stations are compact and self-service. We'll look at your space with you and find a spot that customers can see easily and that stays out of your team's way.

We do. ChargeHatch manages the technology, payments, maintenance and day-to-day running of every station.

Yes. A power bank can go back into any ChargeHatch station with a free hatch, not only the one it came from. That gets easier as more venues join.

Rental pricing is still being finalised. Whatever it is, it's shown clearly on the station before anyone rents.

Anywhere with regular footfall where people spend time: pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés, hotels, music venues, cinemas, shopping centres, stations, gyms and more.
