Lynkwell Accelerates YOY Growth with Launch of Next Generation Charger and Leadership Expansion
U.S.-based energy infrastructure solutions provider defies industry trends and capitalizes on Q1 success by launching the next generation of their XLynk™ charger and hiring new chief operating officer.
SCHENECTADY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lynkwell, a leading energy infrastructure provider, announces significant year-over-year growth as a driving force behind robust product offering and leadership expansion.
The EV (electric vehicle) industry, already a very dynamic market, is in the midst of some significant changes. Sales of EVs remain strong, the financial rationale for electrification remains sound, but macro-economic variables are injecting volatility into the decision-making process of key stakeholders. In recent months, many industry leaders have announced disappointing financial performance, market exits, or insolvency. While these complexities present challenges, those same dynamics have positioned U.S.-based Lynkwell to thrive, achieving more than 200% year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter of 2025. With domestic hardware, software, service, and support capabilities all within a single company and an impressive roster of partners, Lynkwell’s comprehensive offering continues to evolve alongside the industry.
Introducing the Next Generation XLynk™
While other companies are contracting, Lynkwell continues to invest in its comprehensive suite of solutions. The XLynk™ level 2 charger is the flagship product of the Lynkwell offering. Launched in Q3 2024, the first-generation product garnered praise from installers and charging site hosts alike for its performance-focused feature set:
- Commitment to Excellence: First and only commercial EV charger with a lifetime warranty
- Uptime-Centric Design: EZ-Swap Faceplate™ allows customization and maintenance in less than five minutes
- All US-Based Team: Manufacturing, engineering, software development, network operations, and service teams all located in the United States
The next generation XLynk™ builds on that strong foundation with expanded functionality and applications:
- Build America, Buy America Compliant: Through Lynkwell’s New York manufacturing facility, making it ideal for customers prioritizing domestic products and satisfying requirements for many contracts, awards, and incentives
- Highest Charging Speed: Future-proof a site with 80Amps (19.2kW), the maximum amount for an AC charger
- Universality: Physical dip switches allow configuration between 12 to 80Amps for flexibility and energy management based on the infrastructure available at any site
- RFID and Tap-to-Pay Capable: Streamline and control payments for public, private, or fleet applications
- Guest Charging: Allow drivers to charge without having to download an app or share personal information
- Advanced Dynamic Local Load Management: Maximize charging speed while controlling infrastructure costs through automatic redistribution of energy and additional controls
The XLynk™ product family is the cornerstone of several new Lynkwell offerings:
- QuickLynk™ automated solution that cuts onboarding new chargers from hours or days to just a few minutes allowing installers to execute more projects and charging site hosts to have more control over their charger configurations
- Lynkwell Upgrade™ replacement solution empowers site hosts to upgrade the entire charging experience for them and their drivers with a comprehensive and economical package
