Wi-Fly charging docks will be located around convenient public infrastructure hubs, such as train stations, bus stations, shopping centers and large public or commercial buildings such as concert halls and theaters. Individuals will be charged on a time distance calculation and the pod will accept debit, credit or oyster cards, which will be used to activate to Wi-Fly.
