Istanbul’s new solar-powered phone-charging station can handle 8 devices at once

The multifunctional Mito station is located near a tram station at Istanbul ‘s Taksim Square. Commissioned by Turkish company Verisun, the station allows people to charge their phones and access the Internet. It also features a built-in LCD screen that displays the station and route name, as well as useful information on air temperature and bus or tram arrival times.

More charging stations are expected to appear in several other cities across Turkey soon, and we think that is great. + Art Lebedev Via Yanko Design
