US-based energy infrastructure solutions provider Lynkwell is launching the next generation of its XLynk charger and hiring a new chief operating officer.

The XLynk level 2 charger is the flagship product of the Lynkwell offering. The first version of the product launched in Q3 2024, and the next generation XLynk builds on that foundation with expanded functionality and applications.

It is 'Build America, Buy America' compliant through Lynkwell’s New York manufacturing facility, making it ideal for customers prioritizing domestic products and satisfying requirements for many contracts, awards, and incentives.

Lynkwell says it offers the highest charging speed, enabling operators to future-proof a site with 80Amps (19.2kW), the maximum amount for an AC charger.

Physical dip switches allow configuration between 12 to 80Amps for flexibility and energy management based on the infrastructure available at any site.

The next-gen XLynk is RFID and tap-to-pay capable, streamlining and controlling payments for public, private or fleet applications.

It allows drivers to charge without having to download an app or share personal information.

It also ooofers advanced Dynamic Local Load Management, maximizing charging speed while controlling infrastructure costs through automatic redistribution of energy and additional controls.

New chief operating officer
As Lynkwell continues expanding its suite of offerings that capitalize on its vertical and horizontal integration, it is fortifying its executive team with the appointment of Joseph Cahill as chief operating officer.

Cahill brings decades of cross-functional operations, finance, and customer-focused expertise across several verticals at a time when the integration of disparate elements of the EV charging value chain is proving to be the most important driver of success. Prior to Lynkwell, he held executive roles at multiple organizations, including the world-renowned Project Management Institute. He will oversee manufacturing, service, support, and internal operations in Lynkwell’s two New York State facilities. He holds a Bachelor of Science in accounting and finance from Saint Joseph’s University, a Master of Business Villanova University.
