Product Spotlight: Guest Charging
- Drivers can charge with a single click, without needing to download an app or create an account.
- Maximize the revenue from your charging stations by having the most seamless charging experience.
What is Guest Charging?
Guest Charging: No app, no account, no fuss. EV drivers scan the QR code, pay with one tap via Apple Pay, Google Pay, or any major card, and charge up fast. Simple, quick, and open to all—your stations just got more welcoming.
Real-World Use Cases for Guest Charging
| Who it benefits | How it benefits them |
|---|---|
| Hospitality (Hotels, Resorts, Short-Term Rentals) | Enables guests to charge without app downloads, ideal for short stays and frictionless guest experiences. Earn additional revenue from spontaneous or one-time charging sessions. |
| Retail & Commercial (Shopping Centers, Grocery Chains, Malls) | Increases foot traffic and dwell time by offering fast, easy charging while customers shop. |
| Auto Dealerships and Car Rentals | Simplifies charging for temporary users or customers in loaner vehicles. No account setup is needed. |
How It Works
- Drivers can find a station by scanning the station QR code or visiting https://charge.lynkwell.com and using their phone’s location or entering any station’s short code.
- Once they find a station, drivers can initiate charging with a single click using either Apple Pay or Google Pay, or any major credit or debit card.
Why It Matters
Sign-up processes or mandatory app downloads often deter many EV drivers from charging. The additional friction frequently leads to abandoned sessions and lost revenue for site hosts. Guest Charging removes these barriers, enabling drivers to start charging instantly and leading to higher station utilization as well as increased revenue from spontaneous or one-time users. For site hosts, it’s a simple way to capture more traffic, serve a broader audience, and create a more welcoming charging experience—no upgrades or complicated integrations required.
Guest Charging meets drivers where they are, with instant access, flexible payment, and no forced sign-up. It turns frustrated walkaways into completed sessions and converts first-timers into long-term users.
