Revel operates an EV taxi service and a network of high-speed charging stations in New York (see our 2023 feature article). Now the company has begun the first phase of its long-planned West Coast expansion, opening its first EV fast charging station in the Bay Area.
Located in San Francisco’s Mission District at 199 Erie Street, Revel’s new charging station features twelve 320 kW chargers, designed and manufactured by Kempower. The station is publicly accessible 24/7, and all makes and models of EVs are welcome.
Revel also recently installed 24 new Kempower fast chargers at New York’s JFK Airport, within the airport’s for-hire vehicle (FHV) hold lot. Revel’s latest deployments bring the company’s total charging station count to 100, including its network in New York. Revel plans to deploy over 125 chargers to the urban cores of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose and South San Francisco over the next year.
“For years, Revel has operated the largest, fastest, and most reliable fast charging network in New York City. Now we’re bringing our model to the number-one EV market in North America,” said Frank Reig, co-founder and CEO of Revel. “Today’s Mission District opening is an important milestone moment for Revel as we replant our bicoastal roots.”
“We’re excited to welcome Revel to San Francisco as they launch their first West Coast charging project,” said San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie at the ribbon-cutting ceremony. “San Francisco has always been a leader in electric vehicle adoption, and these new chargers will make it even easier for residents to make the switch to EVs with fast and reliable charging.”
