Revel to open EV fas-charging hub in LA in 2026
Revel currently only offers EV charging infrastructure on the other side of the United States. It operates three sites in New York City with a total of 54 fast-chargers. Two of them are located in Brooklyn, and one in Queens. Revel’s flagship Superhub is located in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Initially, it planned to have six locations in the Big Apple by the end of this year.
There are currently five additional locations with a total of 163 fast-chargers on the list for ‘NYC locations opening soon.’ Moreover, Reval’s expansion to California won’t stop with LA. According to its website, the EV infrastructure company also wants to open charging hubs in Northern California, namely in Oakland, San Francisco, and San José. However, there is not information on the timeline or number of planned chargers.
Revel announced at the end of 2023 that it wanted to focus on its ride-hailing business and the installation of fast-charging stations. The company previously also operated an electric scooter-sharing business in New York City and San Francisco. In 2022, the company received about 175 million dollars in funding and debt financing to build its fast-charging Superhubs across the US.
“Revel is building a portfolio of the largest fast charging stations in America’s biggest cities. We’re now officially expanding that footprint to LA,” Frank Reig, co-founder and CEO of Revel, is quoted as saying by Charged EVs. “In the next two years, we’ll have 1,000 fast chargers open across New York City, the Bay Area and Los Angeles. This infrastructure will close the urban charging gap and allow everyone, from rideshare drivers and last-mile delivery fleets to everyday drivers, to electrify.”
