About Chargerlink

Based in Shenzhen, China, Chargerlink was established in 2014 to develop solutions for the electric vehicle charging sector. The firm operates as a developer of EV charging solutions and provides a community for EV owners to find charging stations. Since its founding, the company has secured $20 million in funding over four rounds, with its latest Series A round occurring on August 6, 2018. Key institutional investors include CDH Investments and Shangdu Capital.

Chargerlink's business focuses on providing comprehensive charging station services by integrating IoT SaaS cloud services and AI technology into its products. The company's offerings include charging facility management, smart parking, time-sharing, and billing systems. These services are designed to help clients optimize their charging station operations. Chargerlink develops these solutions for car manufacturers and for businesses interested in installing charging stations on their premises. The hardware solutions support fast charging, are NFC enabled for payments, and include a dashboard for monitoring usage, billing, and managing the station. For individual EV owners, the company provides a map-based interface to locate nearby charging stations.

Clients for Chargerlink's full-service model range from workplaces and hotels to shopping malls and airports. The company handles incentive applications, hardware installation, electrical system upgrades, and ongoing maintenance and operation of the EV chargers. This allows property owners to offer charging as an amenity without direct management. Chargerlink's revenue model includes profit-sharing from the resale of electricity, creating a partnership with the property owner. Their product lineup features a variety of hardware, including Level 2 AC chargers and DC fast chargers, with power outputs from 7kW to 900kW, compatible with both CCS and NACS standards.
