Lynkwell, a provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging hardware, software, and service solutions, is partnering with ChargeHub to provide access to drivers and businesses using networks running on the Lynkwell platform to close to 100,000 compatible charging points across the US and Canada.
Charge point operators (CPOs) and eMobility service providers (EMPs) using the Lynkwell platform will benefit from the largest pool of compatible charge points via EV roaming through ChargeHub’s Passport Hub.
The partnership enables Plug & Charge to offer a seamless, user-friendly, and secure solution to compatible charging stations. The integration allows networks operating on the Lynkwell platform to offer these solutions to their site hosts and drivers while maintaining their brand identity.
Lynkwell’s commitment to collaboration and customer experience is evident as the partnership expands access to critical charging infrastructure for drivers on Lynkwell networks and to charging stations on Lynkwell’s networks that opt-in.
The partnership delivers significant value through:
- Expanding network accessibility for drivers: For EV drivers, Lynkwell’s partnership and integration with ChargeHub means an exponential increase in access to chargers (close to 100,000 and growing) and a seamless payment experience without needing to download additional apps to charge. Lynkwell’s participating affiliate network’s infrastructure will be made available to more than 25 industry partners who are also part of Passport Hub. These partners include automakers, other charge point operators (CPOs) and fleet management companies (view sample partner list here).
- Broader access for customers: For businesses and site hosts leveraging networks operating on the Lynkwell platform to operate EV charging stations, the partnership will significantly enhance the visibility of their chargers to the more than 1 million annual users and new EV drivers on the ChargeHub app, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and web-based map, as well as other e-mobility service providers (EMSPs) connected to the Hub.
- Enhanced driver experience at charging stations: By integrating with Passport Hub, Lynkwell will work with ChargeHub to offer Plug&Charge capabilities to provide a seamless, user-friendly, and secure solution for activating charging sessions at compatible stations, further enhancing the overall user experience.
“The partnership with Lynkwell goes way beyond offering their platform’s charging network’s clients easy access to thousands of new charging stations,” said Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub. “Since Lynkwell also provides the industry with a robust platform for branded Charge Point Management Solutions, having them connected to North America’s leading EV roaming hub will help many other CPOs and eMSPs benefit from this integration. That aligns perfectly with ChargeHub’s ultimate goal to accelerate EV adoption through EV roaming.”
