Smarter, More Secure EV Charging with Lynkwell’s Private Charging Feature 

For site hosts, meeting the diverse needs of EV drivers is essential for increasing utilization, enhancing driver loyalty, and maximizing return on investment. Businesses, multifamily properties, and fleet operators need to offer tailored charging experiences while ensuring secure and exclusive access to their infrastructure. Lynkwell addresses this need with its Private Charging feature—an intuitive solution that gives site hosts full control over who can access their chargers while ensuring seamless user management. 

Lynkwell’s Private Charging feature is designed to streamline access management, ensuring that only designated users—whether employees, residents, or fleet drivers—can utilize charging stations. With enhanced security, guaranteed availability, and flexible access control, this feature simplifies operations while maintaining a reliable, efficient charging experience for authorized users. 

Secure, Controlled Access for EV Charging 

From workplaces to multifamily residences, fleet depots, and hospitality venues, site hosts need a secure, reliable system to manage their EV chargers effectively. Managing access can be challenging, with many site hosts struggling to prevent unauthorized use, allocate resources efficiently, and maintain operational control. 

Lynkwell’s Private Charging feature is designed to solve these challenges by offering site hosts a structured, secure way to manage access to their chargers. Through Lynkwell’s platform, site hosts can easily add or remove authorized users, offer customized discounts to specific drivers, and ensure chargers are available exclusively to their intended audience. The result is a streamlined, hassle-free charging experience that maximizes efficiency while maintaining security. 

With Private Charging, site hosts benefit from: 

• Enhanced Security & Control: Restrict access to authorized drivers, ensuring a secure and predictable charging environment. 

• Guaranteed Charger Availability: Prevent unauthorized use and keep stations accessible for those who need them most. 

• Flexible Access Management: Easily add or remove users, adjust permissions, and configure discounts to suit operational needs. 

• Cost & Usage Optimization: Track station usage, manage costs effectively, and maintain oversight of your charging infrastructure. 

How It Works 

Lynkwell’s Private Charging feature simplifies EV charger management with an intuitive, step-by-step process: 

1. Designate Private or Public Access: When networking your chargers to Lynkwell’s backend, site hosts can specify whether their location is private or public. (Note that some funding programs may require public availability.) 

2. Assign Authorized Users: Site hosts instruct drivers to download the Lynkwell Mobile App and obtain a Digital Driver ID. Using the Site Manager portal, hosts can grant access to approved users. 

3. Manage & Adjust Access: Site hosts can add or remove users at any time, update pricing structures, and modify access settings as needed. 

4. Flexible Pricing & Perks: Hosts can provide free charging as an employee or resident perk or set custom discounts similar to public stations. 

5. Easily Modify Station Status: Should business needs change, site hosts can switch between private and public access by contacting their Lynkwell Account Manager. 

Real-World Applications 

Lynkwell’s Private Charging feature provides a structured, scalable solution for various industries: 

• Workplaces: Offer employees exclusive charging access as a workplace benefit while managing availability efficiently. 

• Multi-Unit Dwellings (MUDs): Ensure residents have dedicated charging stations, increasing property value and tenant satisfaction. 

• Fleet Management: Keep fleet chargers reserved for business use, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring vehicle readiness. 

• Hospitality & Events: Extend charging privileges to guests, customers, or event attendees, enhancing the customer experience.
