Maximizing EV Charging Access and Efficiency with Session Limits 

---

As EV adoption continues to rise—in 2024, global sales reached 12.5 million units (a 25 percent increase over the previous year) according to Rho Motion, an EV research consultancy—charging destinations are seeing increased utilization. While high demand is a sign of progress, it also presents additional considerations: How can site hosts ensure fair access while managing costs and station availability? 

Lynkwell’s Charging Session Limits provides an impactful solution. This powerful feature allows site hosts to set parameters on EV charging sessions based on duration, energy consumption, or both, ensuring fair access, cost control, and efficiency at every charging location. 

Smarter Charging Management with Session Limits 

From workplaces to retail destinations, multifamily properties, and fleet operations, different site hosts have unique needs when it comes to EV charging. Without structured limits, some stations can experience excessive occupation, reducing availability and increasing operational costs.  

With Charging Session Limits, site hosts can: 

• Promote equitable access by preventing prolonged station occupation 

• Optimize station availability to serve more drivers 

• Control costs for free or subsidized charging programs 

• Ensure operational efficiency by managing charging time and energy use effectively 

How It Works 

Charging Session Limits is a managed service, coordinated and implemented by Lynkwell’s team based on the site host’s specific needs. This feature ensures that session limits are configured and implemented according to the host’s needs, allowing for customized control at each station. 

Site hosts can request customized charging session limits with the following options: 

• Time-based limits: Restrict session duration (hours and minutes) 

• Energy-based limits: Set a maximum kWh consumption per session 

• Combination limits: Apply both time and energy restrictions simultaneously 

If a session reaches its limit, charging automatically stops, and drivers receive notifications. Site hosts can monitor and request adjustment to settings as needed to align with their operational goals. 

Real-World Applications 

Charging Session Limits is designed to enhance EV charging management across various industries: 

• Workplaces: Employers can offer charging as an employee perk while preventing all-day station occupation. 

• Retail & Public Locations: Site hosts can ensure more customers have access by reducing extended use. 

• Fleets: Operators can optimize charging schedules to ensure vehicles are ready for deployment. 

• Multifamily Properties: Property owners can distribute charging resources fairly among tenants. 

Get Started 

By leveraging Charging Session Limits, site hosts can take control of their EV charging infrastructure—ensuring efficiency, fairness, and a better experience for all EV drivers.
