Workplace EV Charging: Your Roadmap to Sustainable Success

Discover how workplace EV charging is transforming corporate landscapes and driving sustainability forward. Our recent webinar, featuring industry trailblazers Kate Kruk of Lynkwell and Aleksandra Evert of EVAL and Forth, delivers actionable insights and strategic perspectives that redefine the role of EV infrastructure in the workplace. 

Workplace EV charging is no longer just a perk—it’s a strategic investment reshaping corporate landscapes and advancing sustainability goals. In fact, approximately 70 percent of prime U.S. office buildings are now equipped with charging ports, indicating a growing trend in workplace EV charging infrastructure, per CBRE. As businesses navigate increasing employee demand for EV infrastructure and strive to meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) benchmarks, the integration of workplace charging solutions is emerging as a key differentiator. 

Our recent webinar, led by Lynkwell’s Director of Partnership and Engagement Kate Kruk and EVAL’s Program Manager Aleksandra Evert, dives into the transformative role of EV charging in workplaces. From enhancing employee satisfaction to boosting a company’s reputation as a sustainability leader, they share actionable strategies and real-world examples to help organizations stay ahead in the rapidly evolving e-mobility landscape. 

Don’t miss these valuable insights into how workplace EV charging can help your business attract and retain top talent by delivering benefits that matter to today’s workforce while driving tangible progress toward sustainability goals. 

Powering Progress: Lynkwell’s Success Story 

At Lynkwell, we aren’t just providers of workplace charging solutions; we are a workplace charging destination staffed by EV drivers. By leading through example, we gain unique insight into the needs of both charging providers and EV drivers, allowing us to better serve our customers, partners, employees and community.  

As a case study, Lynkwell’s workplace charging journey showcases the rapid evolution of EV infrastructure. Since starting with just 10 Level 2 charge ports in 2019, we’ve doubled our network to 20 stations, driven by increasing adoption of electric vehicles among our workforce, the other tenants at our headquarters location and the community at large.  

With nearly 20 percent of drivers at Lynkwell embracing EVs, the impact of workplace charging is clear. But the benefits extend far beyond the parking lot—this investment enhances employee satisfaction, supports sustainability goals, and positions our organization as a forward-thinking leader in a competitive talent market. 

These efforts have earned Lynkwell the highest EVAL Certification level—Platinum—demonstrating our leadership in advancing sustainable commuting solutions. 

Recognizing Impact: The EVAL Certification 

The Electric Vehicle Adoption Leadership (EVAL) Certification, led by the e-mobility advocacy group Forth and backed by the U.S. Department of Energy, recognizes organizations that demonstrate leadership in sustainable commuting. EVAL certifies employers for a range of initiatives—from providing electric vehicle (EV) charging to offering options for carpooling, biking, public transportation, and incentives for sustainable commuting. This program empowers businesses and NGOs to enhance workplace mobility through a structured, tiered recognition system. From bronze to platinum, each level signifies a key milestone in advancing sustainability. By achieving EVAL certification, organizations not only contribute to a greener future but also solidify their position as forward-thinking leaders in workplace innovation and environmental responsibility. 

Embracing EVAL isn’t just about gaining recognition—it’s also about catalyzing change. By implementing sustainable commute practices, workplace charging providers can elevate their corporate image, attract top-tier talent and foster innovation. Leading organizations such as Nike, renowned institutions like Harvard University, and progressive cities like Phoenix have already leveraged the power of eco-mobility through EVAL, setting a benchmark for other industry leaders to follow.

For today’s workforce, it’s no longer enough for employers to offer basic benefits; they must demonstrate a genuine commitment to the values that matter most to their employees—values like sustainability, well-being and a forward-thinking approach to environmental responsibility. By integrating workplace charging into employers’ sustainability strategy, they can not only enhance your company’s reputation but also foster a deeper connection with employees, positioning your organization as a true leader in the evolving landscape of employee engagement and sustainable business practices.
