Revel Is Planning A Massive EV Charging Network – Here’s When Its Set To Open

Brooklyn-based company Revel is constructing charging locations in four of the city’s five boroughs, with most of the projects scheduled for completion this year. The project will expand Revel’s NYC charging network to 160 stalls, with 60 of those located in the Maspeth Superhub. Once it opens, Maspeth will be the largest EV charging hub in the Western hemisphere. 

136 new charging stalls will be added in total, which will make Revel responsible for around 80% of the city’s public fast charging infrastructure. All of the locations will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and all types of production electric vehicles can be charged there. Ultrafast charging stations, which can fill a battery in under 20 minutes, will be available at all locations.

In a statement, Revel CEO & Co-Founder Frank Reig says: “We need high-volume, public sites in the neighborhoods where people actually live and work, and that’s exactly what Revel is delivering with our growing Superhub network. This is the biggest fast charging expansion our city has ever seen, and it’s a huge step toward making our EV transition a reality.”

The exact plans for each station are as follows. In addition to the 60 stalls set to open in Maspeth, Queens, 30 stalls will be added in Port Morris, The Bronx. A total of 20 stalls are designated for the site in Red Hook, Brooklyn, while 16 stalls will appear at the Dime building in South Williamsburg, and 10 stalls will be added at Pier 36 on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Several Superhub locations are set to open in late 2023, namely the locations in the Lower East Side, South Williamsburg, and The Bronx. In 2024, an additional location will open in Brooklyn’s Red Hook area.
