Lynkwell, a leading energy infrastructure provider, is leveraging the growing demand of 2024 to accelerate its expansion into 2025. The company is strengthening its go-to-market leadership team and enhancing its comprehensive platform of solutions to meet the increasing needs of the EV charging industry.
Despite industry fluctuations in 2024, momentum in charging infrastructure remained strong. The economics of operating charging stations have become more attractive, prompting increased investments. EV sales rose 7.3 percent year-over-year from 2023 to 2024, and DC fast-charging hubs met their utilization rate targets.
Lynkwell capitalized on this demand as the EV charging market transitioned from simply installing chargers to prioritizing long-term, resilient solutions built in the United States. With both its manufacturing and software development teams based domestically, Lynkwell is well-positioned in a landscape that increasingly values American-made products and secure software operations for critical EV charging and battery management.

Lynkwell achieved several significant milestones in 2024:
- Rebranded and relaunched multiple entities under the unified Lynkwell brand, reinforcing its vertically and horizontally integrated position.

- Earned a place on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies for the third consecutive year.
