QuickLynk™ directly addresses these issues by streamlining the process, ensuring a fast, hassle-free installation experience.
A Simple, Efficient Process
- Installers complete the setup through a user-friendly online form, eliminating multiple configuration steps.
- No need for extensive technical training or backend access; QuickLynk™ ensures any certified installer can complete installations efficiently.
- By reducing setup complexity, more installers can enter the field, accelerating overall EV infrastructure deployment.
“At Lynkwell, we are uniquely positioned to design a solution like QuickLynk™,” said Schuyler Poukish, CEO of Lynkwell. “Many providers only focus on hardware, software, or service. Lynkwell integrates all functions into one U.S.-based team. By combining installation expertise with industry-leading software and proven interoperability, we created an installation experience unlike anything else in the market. Our goal is to empower critical infrastructure installers with unparalleled efficiency, supporting their business growth while contributing to the larger energy transformation.”
Addressing the Pain Points of Traditional EV Charger Deployment
With most EV charging providers, setting up a new charger involves multiple manual steps that can slow deployment. Common challenges include:
Manual Provisioning
- Installers must log into backend portals, configure settings, and ensure each charger is properly recognized by the network.
- These processes often require direct communication with support teams, adding time-consuming steps to the setup.
Remote Support Dependencies
- Many providers require installers to wait for off-site activation confirmation, leading to unnecessary delays.
- Long wait times on customer service calls slow project completion and increase labor costs.
Configuration Inconsistencies
- Different charger models and networks require unique setup procedures, introducing the risk of errors and further delays.
- Lack of standardization creates inefficiencies that hinder EV infrastructure scalability.
By eliminating these obstacles, QuickLynk™ ensures a frictionless installation experience. This automation enables installers to complete projects faster, allowing businesses, municipalities, and fleet operators to scale their EV charging networks with ease.
