Feature Update: App-less Guest Charging Functionality

At Lynkwell, we’re dedicated to making EV charging simpler, more accessible, and more rewarding for both drivers and site hosts. That’s why we’ve introduced Guest Charging, a powerful new feature designed to elevate the charging experience for drivers and drive greater profitability and efficiency for site hosts.
What Is Guest Charging?
Guest Charging is an app-free, account-free (read: hassle-free!) solution that allows EV drivers to start a charging session in seconds. By simply scanning the station’s QR code or entering a Station ID, drivers can pay securely using Google Pay, Apple Pay or a credit/debit card—no apps or accounts required.
This feature is perfect for:
- Drivers passing through or making a one-time visit.
- First-time EV drivers or those using rental cars.
- Drivers who prioritize speed, flexibility, and privacy.
Why Site Hosts Will Love Guest Charging
For site hosts, Guest Charging is designed to make charging stations more accessible and profitable:
- Attract More Drivers: Eliminate barriers to use by offering a hassle-free charging option, appealing to occasional users and first-time EV drivers.
- Increased Value: Higher utilization rates enhance the overall value of your EV charging investment, supporting reliable performance and improved driver satisfaction.
- Seamless Payments: Provide secure and flexible payment methods, including Google Pay, Apple Pay and credit/debit cards, without the need to store personal or financial data.
How It Works
- Drivers scan the QR code or enter the Station ID.
- They select their payment method.
- Charging begins, providing a fast, secure, and effortless experience.
- This streamlined process can reduce wait times, increase station turnover and maximize the utility of your charging infrastructure.
A Better Experience for Drivers
For EV drivers, Guest Charging offers an unmatched combination of convenience and privacy:
- Simplified Access: No app downloads or account setup required.
- Flexible Payments: Use Google Pay, Apple Pay, or a credit/debit card with ease.
Privacy First: No personal or payment data is stored, ensuring a secure and anonymous transaction.
Advancing EV Charging Accessibility
With Guest Charging, Lynkwell strengthens its commitment to delivering driver-friendly solutions that make good business sense for site hosts. By enhancing accessibility and efficiency, this feature supports the growth of a charging network that works for everyone.
