Lynkwell has incorporated WEX payment technology into its electric vehicle (EV) charging platform, expanding services for commercial fleets and positioning itself as the only U.S.-based, vertically integrated EV charging provider to offer WEX’s corporate-grade payment solutions across its station network.
The collaboration enables drivers to initiate charging sessions using the WEX DriverDash mobile application or WEX RFID card at thousands of Lynkwell chargers nationwide, aiming to increase convenience and operational efficiency.
Fleet operators can access real-time charging data, budget controls, and compliance auditing through Lynkwell’s dashboard. Flexible billing models—subscription-based, per-kilowatt-hour, or dynamic pricing—are designed to give businesses greater control over costs. “This partnership eases en route charging and minimizes operational complexities,” said Nick Bordeau, Lynkwell’s Vice President of Software Engineering.
The Lynkwell platform includes the XLynk™ Level 2 Charger, compliant with Build America, Buy America standards, offering an 80 Amp capacity and a lifetime warranty. AutoCharge Depot Charging allows authorized vehicles to charge without requiring apps or cards, while cloud-based energy management allocates power in real time.
OpenADR 2.0b certification supports grid communication for load management. Interoperability with OCPP 1.6 and 2.0.1 ensures compatibility with more than 20 hardware manufacturers, while OCPI integration connects with mapping services such as Google Maps and PlugShare. ISO15118 Plug and Charge, implemented in partnership with Hubject and Irdeto, further simplifies charging.
According to WEX’s Senior Vice-President & General Manager, EV & Mobility, Jay Collins, “This integration reduces administrative overhead while boosting security and transparency for fleet operators.” By combining WEX’s secure, scalable payment technology with Lynkwell’s charging infrastructure, the partnership aims to streamline fueling and charging management for fleets operating both electric and internal combustion engine vehicles.
