Lynkwell and ChargeHub have strengthened their strategic partnership to enable seamless EV roaming and Plug & Charge functionality across North America. By integrating with ChargeHub’s Passport Hub, this collaboration will provide drivers and businesses access to nearly 100,000 compatible charging points.
Key Highlights:
- Expanded Network Accessibility for Drivers: Lynkwell’s integration with ChargeHub significantly increases charger access and provides a seamless payment experience.
- Broader Access for Business Customers: Businesses using Lynkwell’s platform will gain enhanced visibility of their chargers to over 1 million annual users and new EV drivers.
- Enhanced Driver Experience: Plug & Charge capabilities offer a user-friendly, secure solution for activating charging sessions.
This collaboration will enable charge point operators (CPOs) and eMobility service providers (EMPs) utilizing the Lynkwell platform to benefit from the largest pool of compatible charge points via EV roaming through ChargeHub’s Passport Hub. The partnership also paves the way for Plug & Charge to offer a seamless, user-friendly, and secure solution to activate 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.
Expanded 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, North America’s leading EV roaming hub. These partners include automakers, other charge point operators (CPOs), and fleet management companies.
Broader Access for Lynkwell’s Business 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 over 1 million annual users and new EV drivers on the ChargeHub app, in-vehicle infotainment systems, and web-based maps, 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. By allowing EV drivers to access charging infrastructure across different networks using a single account or payment method of the driver’s choosing, the two companies are showcasing their shared vision of creating seamless access to charging stations and thus accelerating the transition to electric mobility.
“Lynkwell is committed to fostering industry collaboration, and we are especially excited about our partnership with ChargeHub to enhance the experience of all EV drivers and EV owners across North America, regardless of which network or app they choose,” said Jason Zarillo, president and co-founder of Lynkwell.
“The partnership with Lynkwell goes way beyond offering their platform’s charging network’s clients easy access to thousands of new charging stations. 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,” said Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub.
