Nice!!! I really hope Tokyo is next in line. And all the other cities in the world. After all, the mains are never really far away in urban or suburban context

  This is the thing, doesn't even need to be battery powered, houses usually have external accessible power points (at least in the US and certainly in Oakland).

    Houses are a small part of landscaping maintenance around a city. I bet there aren't as many outlets available as you think. You also have to deal with consumption and ownership of the outlet, how do you re-imburse someone with external outlets in a townhouse situation?

      In most cities there are electrical outlets for municipal workers too (in urban context they are often protected by a lock). In many cases there is also a way to plug to the grid using traps on the side of streetlights.
