About Leadway Innovative Intelligent Systems

Lynkwell provides end-to-end electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure for the clean energy sector. Founded in 2016 by co-founders Schuyler Poukish (CEO) and Jason Zarillo (President), the company evolved from an energy infrastructure installer to a comprehensive provider of energy management solutions. The firm is headquartered in Schenectady, New York. The company's core offering is the Lynkwell X-Change™, an integrated platform that connects all stakeholders within the EV value chain, including businesses, fleet operators, utilities, and drivers. Lynkwell's business model is built on providing a single-partner solution for EV charging deployment and operation. This ecosystem includes a curated hardware catalog of over 500 products from leading OEMs alongside its own XLynk™ charger, a hardware-agnostic, OCPP 2.0.1 certified software platform for station management, and a full suite of services covering site selection, project management, and 24/7 support. Clients can choose from various engagement models, such as full ownership, shared ownership, and Charging as a Service (CaaS), which removes the need for large upfront capital investment. Lynkwell operates one of the top ten largest EV charging networks in the United States, managing over 10,000 charging assets across more than 40 states, Canada, and Guam. The company's rapid growth has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 list for multiple consecutive years. In a significant milestone reported in late 2025, Lynkwell was acquired by Nayax, a global commerce and payment solutions provider, for $25.9 million. This acquisition is set to integrate Lynkwell’s AI-enabled management platform with Nayax's extensive payment infrastructure, aiming to create a unified solution for charge point operators.
