The Person Living Off the Electric Grid
There are currently 1.7 billion people worldwide lacking consistent access to electricity, whether due to natural disaster, political crises, or limited reach of utility companies. Consumer electronics, namely mobile phones, have become ubiquitous all over the world. Lack of reliable electricity renders these devices useless.
