Lynkwell Launches QuickLynk™, Drastically Reducing Newly Installed EV Charger Connection Time from Hours to a Few Minutes
Industry-first automated onboarding solution eliminates manual setup, reduces activation time from hours to a few minutes, and accelerates EV charger deployment.
SCHENECTADY, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lynkwell, a leading provider of EV charging solutions, has launched QuickLynk™, an innovative automated onboarding product that reduces newly installed EV charger connection time to minutes instead of hours. By eliminating manual configuration steps, QuickLynk™ streamlines the setup of Lynkwell’s XLynk™ Level 2 charger, enabling installers to be more efficient and empowering site hosts to control their new charger settings.
Key Features & Benefits of QuickLynk™:
QuickLynk™ is a first-of-its-kind solution unique to the ViaLynk™ network and Lynkwell’s XLynk™ chargers, removing common pain points in EV charger deployment through:
- Automated setup: Installers no longer need to log in to the charging provider’s backend portal, configure settings, call off-site support, or wait for remote confirmation—QuickLynk™ enables charger connection to go from hours to a few minutes.
- Seamless connectivity: Chargers auto-connect to Lynkwell’s backend, ensuring real-time status updates and eliminating the need for installers to conduct manual troubleshooting.
- Faster project completion: Site hosts receive an automated activation email once all chargers are online, eliminating the need for the installer to perform this work.
- Scalability and reliability: QuickLynk™ enhances uptime and streamlines site activation for deployments of any size, from individual installations to larger-scale projects.
This streamlined approach not only accelerates deployment but also empowers site hosts with full control over their charger settings, payment preferences, and activation timeline. With QuickLynk™, hosts can activate stations on their own schedule and configure settings remotely, ensuring a hassle-free experience from installation to operation.
“In my experience, setting up EV chargers often comes with challenges; gaining access, navigating setup screens, and waiting for stations to go live can all add unnecessary delays,” said Destiny Soler, regional property manager at Dawn Homes, a multifamily property management company that employs Lynkwell’s EV charging solutions as an amenity for its residents. “QuickLynk™ eliminated those hurdles. What used to take hours—or even require follow-ups—was done in minutes. The automated process was simple, fast, and efficient, reducing connection time and ensuring our residents had immediate access to charging.”
The Installer Perspective: Addressing Industry Challenges
Installers are essential to scaling EV charging infrastructure. However, recent industry data reveals that more than 77 percent of installers face frustration with charger setup complexities, including delays, inconsistent hardware, and inadequate support. QuickLynk™ was designed to address these challenges head-on, empowering installers to power, connect, and move on with ease. All communication is done through a simple online form. By streamlining the process, QuickLynk™ not only makes installations faster but also encourages more installers to get involved, helping accelerate the growth of EV charging infrastructure and the number of installations completed each day.
“At Lynkwell, we are uniquely positioned to design a solution like QuickLynk™,” shared Schuyler Poukish, chief executive officer at Lynkwell. “Many providers in this space only provide hardware, software, or service; Lynkwell integrates all functions in one U.S.-based team. Combining our installation expertise with our industry-leading software and proven interoperability, we were able to create an installation experience that is demonstrably different than anything else in the industry. We are excited to empower critical infrastructure installers with a new level of efficiency that will benefit their business and the larger energy transformation. While others launch products, Lynkwell focuses on creating solutions.”
Backed by Lynkwell’s extensive installation experience and powered by its software backend, QuickLynk™ streamlines XLynk™ Level 2 charger setup, enabling connection in minutes and helping to reduce common delays in EV infrastructure deployment.
Traditionally, setting up EV chargers with other leading providers involves a slow, multi-step process that can impede deployment for hours or even days. Typical delays include:
- Manual provisioning: Installers must log into a backend portal, configure settings, and ensure each charger is properly recognized by the network.
- Remote support dependencies: Many providers require installers to wait for remote customer service representatives to confirm activation, often having to wait on the phone for extensive amounts of time, causing unnecessary delays.
- Configuration inconsistencies: Different charger models and networks may require unique setup procedures, adding complexity and potential errors to the process.
By removing unnecessary steps and automating key processes, QuickLynk™ accelerates EV charger deployment at scale, helping businesses, municipalities, and fleet operators expand charging networks efficiently. Lynkwell’s vertically integrated approach and comprehensive capabilities ensure seamless interoperability, making this process simple and efficient—even for the most inexperienced electrical contractors. Lynkwell is delivering solutions for every stakeholder in the e-mobility ecosystem by pairing XLynk™’s uptime-centric design with a more resilient, adaptable charging infrastructure that evolves alongside the energy economy.
