We do not know if they will be closed, but they will undoubtedly reduce their work. Circuit terminals are, at first glance, simple – and relatively simple to operate – systems that provide complex solutions to severe problems. They make it possible to release a shipment at a convenient time and the most suitable place for users within a minute.

The same user can send a shipment for the same amount of time. As you might guess, the car terminal saves thousands of miles on drivers and an extremely long waiting time for the end user. And that’s not all – they work 24 hours a day, with an easy maintenance system, and manufacturers guarantee their timely intervention in case of an error or customer inquiry. Also known as postage dispensers, these devices save nerves, money, and harmful emissions from the vehicles used to deliver the goods. They also save effort – including human resources involved in commerce, logistics and customer service centres. 

The same is true during the opening hours of the following terminals – the charging ones! Unfortunately, they have not yet invented terminals to fill us with a positive mood, but we all know how quickly a smile can come from our face when our phone battery goes down a long way.

We put them in one category simply because they work on the same principle. Of course, the benefits of charging terminals for electric vehicles are beyond doubt with those for charging a phone! However, these benefits will probably be easier to discuss and more tangible when we soon have discussed seeing more car refuelling terminals than gas stations.

In any case, we should not underestimate the convenient terminals for charging phones. Some people have already turned them into a source of good income, locating them in public places such as hospitals, libraries, shopping centres, bus stops … The common thing that unites everything so far is that, most often, these terminals of the future are produced by the same supplier. Companies like Encore, for example, can also offer an individual project for people who see the potential in this type of investment.

In any case, we see in the future greater access to everything just one hand away, at just the right time when we need a little power for the phone or the ability to send an emergency shipment after midnight. The best part is that all these systems are green. So let’s not underestimate the innovative community we have become because, in some cases, it thinks – and intelligent, and the planet.
