As part of the partnership, Energy Plus has named Nayax as its preferred end-to-end solution provider, signing a long-term agreement to expand the deployment of Nayax’s payments solution across an anticipated thousands of new AC and DC chargers over the coming years. Energy Plus will also be among the first operators in the U.S. to adopt the combined Nayax and Lynkwell end-to-end solution for EV charging. The platform creates a unified driver experience that connects in-app and on-site transactions within a single Nayax-powered environment, reducing reliance on multiple vendors, simplifying operations, and delivering a consistent experience for both drivers and the charge point operator.
The partnership reflects the continued buildout of Nayax's integrated EV charging ecosystem, which now combines its global payment technology with Lynkwell’s AI-assisted charging operations and management platform Nayax acquired in December 2025. Together, Nayax and Lynkwell offer a single payment centric platform which is already being utilized in various combinations by hardware manufacturers, software providers, utilities, and the station owners themselves. The integrated solution spans hardware-embedded payment acceptance, cloud-based fleet monitoring and monetization tools, and unified financial reporting across card-present and app-based channels.
“Our partnership with Energy Plus represents the kind of deep, end-to-end collaboration that defines the next phase of Nayax's EV strategy,” said Jason Zarillo, Head of Nayax Energy, Nayax. “We believe that when payments work seamlessly, the entire value chain benefits. With Lynkwell now part of Nayax, we can offer a fully integrated solution that gives operators the tools to manage, monetize, and grow their networks from a single platform, with a business model that scales with their business.”
“This partnership with Nayax represents a major step forward for Energy Plus,” said Michael Elhav, Head of EV at E-Plug, an Energy Plus brand. “Nayax's end-to-end solution gives us the reliability and flexibility we need to scale our network across the U.S., while providing drivers with a seamless and consistent experience - whether they're paying at the charger or through our app. Having payments, operations, and management unified under one platform simplifies how we run our business and positions us to grow faster.”
