While Revel continues to grow its own fleet of EVs for ride-sharing in New York City, the company is also building out a network of high speed fast charging stations to keep those ride share vehicles up and running. And now the company’s biggest ride-share competitor Uber is providing a commitment for guaranteed utilization of those fast charging stations in exchange for a discount to Uber drivers of up to 25% on EV charging fees. This deal will enable Revel to expand its charging network faster into “urban charging deserts” in New York City and beyond. The deal represents a multi-year strategic partnership between the two firms to provide Uber drivers in New York City with exclusive charging discounts and access to Revel’s ever-expanding DC fast charging network
