The conceptual Toyota 'e-Chargeair' has been shown off by the brand as part of the Mobility Theme Park vision at the 46th Tokyo Motor Show 2019 as a way to keep devices charged and much more.
The unit is outfitted with a wireless battery charging system that can relay electricity to Qi-enabled devices, which will eliminate the need for users to carry around their own chargers or power banks. The system can also provide WiFi as well as air cleaning capabilities thanks to air purification functionality that rounds it off as a robust rendering of an efficient solution for future urban environments.
The conceptual Toyota 'e-Chargeair' can also be used for charging battery electric vehicles (BEVs) to keep them functioning for extended periods with minimal downtime.
