Lynkwell, an energy infrastructure company, is partnering with Recharge Alaska to advance EV charging infrastructure in the sub-arctic — challenging common misconceptions about the reliability of electric vehicle service equipment (EVSE) in extreme conditions.
Despite Alaska’s remote and rugged landscape, Lynkwell exemplifies how innovation in EV charging can effectively navigate and overcome these challenges. It’s provided enhanced control and insight into charging operations through a secure Network Manager dashboard by developing a custom, white-labeled EV charging network for Recharge Alaska.
This tailored solution ensured a seamless migration of dc fast-charging (DCFC) stations while maintaining uninterrupted service, delivering a reliable and efficient charging experience in even the most demanding environments.
The new network includes advanced station management tools such as real-time access to Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP) logs, improved performance visibility, faster troubleshooting, and streamlined customer support. With the introduction of the Recharge Alaska app — powered by Lynkwell — EV drivers across the state enjoy an integrated charging experience, with 10% of Alaska’s EV owners adopting the platform in its initial months. This expansion ensures that rural and underserved areas access a reliable and fast transportation network.
Lynkwell’s integrated monitoring capabilities, accessible through the Site Host Manager, offer insights into environmental factors like temperature and electrical performance, enabling proactive maintenance and reducing downtime.
By leveraging real-time performance tracking and predictive analytics, operators can anticipate and address issues before they escalate, ensuring consistent functionality. This data-driven approach enhances infrastructure reliability, extends equipment lifespan, and empowers operators like Recharge Alaska to optimize their networks while navigating the unique environmental challenges of Alaska.
The partnership aligns with Alaska’s clean energy goals to build a statewide interconnected EV charging station network over the next five years, supporting the state’s transition to sustainable transportation and reducing carbon emissions. These high-speed chargers offer Alaskans a modern, reliable charging network, enabling long-distance travel and ensuring that even remote communities on the state’s road system have access to the infrastructure needed to support the growing adoption of EVs.
