By integrating with ChargeHub's Passport Hub, drivers and
businesses utilizing networks running on the Lynkwell platform can
tap into the leading EV roaming hub across the US and Canada, providing access to close to 100,000
compatible charging points.
MONTREAL and SCHENECTADY, N.Y., July 16,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Lynkwell, a premier
provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging hardware, software, and
service solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with
ChargeHub, the U.S. and Canada's
leading EV roaming hub.
This collaboration will work to 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.
Alongside some of North
America's largest and fastest growing networks, 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 to both drivers and
businesses 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,
North America's leading EV roaming
hub. These partners include automakers, other charge point
operators (CPOs) and fleet management companies (view sample
partner list here).
- 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 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.
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.
