Revel, the Brooklyn-based electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure company, is expanding its operations to Los Angeles, where it plans to build a fast-charging Superhub with 42 stalls. The new facility, located in Downtown LA, is expected to open in 2026 and will operate 24/7, serving the public around the clock.
Currently, Revel’s charging infrastructure is concentrated on the East Coast, with three sites in New York City offering a total of 54 fast chargers. Two of these sites are in Brooklyn, including the company’s flagship Superhub in Bed-Stuy, while the third is in Queens. Originally, Revel aimed to have six locations in New York by the end of this year, but it has since adjusted its focus and expansion plans.
In addition to the upcoming Los Angeles site, Revel is also eyeing further expansion into Northern California, with plans to establish charging hubs in Oakland, San Francisco, and San José. However, the company has not yet provided details on the timelines or the number of chargers planned for these locations.
“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,” said Frank Reig, co-founder and CEO of Revel, in a statement to 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.”
Revel’s expansion into California marks a significant shift for the company, which has previously focused its efforts on the East Coast. The company had earlier announced plans to prioritize its ride-hailing business and the installation of fast-charging stations, following the discontinuation of its electric scooter-sharing service in New York City and San Francisco. In 2022, Revel secured approximately $175 million in funding and debt financing to support the development of its fast-charging Superhubs across the United States.
