Revel, a 100% electric ride-share startup, partnered with Uber to accelerate EV infrastructure expansion in the US. Revel is expanding its fleet of EVs in New York City and building fast charging stations. Uber will guarantee utilization of these stations for its drivers and offer discounts of up to 25% on charging fees. The partnership aims to address urban charging deserts and is launching in NYC before expanding to other cities.
Uber’s commitment includes providing revenue guarantees and contributing data to inform future station development. The discounted charging rates will be based on Uber Pro status. Revel stations are open to all EV models and do not require monthly subscriptions or parking fees. The partnership aligns with Uber’s push towards zero-emissions and Revel’s goal to expand charging networks faster in cities.
Revel’s CEO highlights the partnership’s importance in accelerating EV infrastructure in dense cities. Uber drivers are adopting EVs at a faster rate, with NYC being a growing market. The city’s initiatives for EV adoption and partnerships like this one are paving the way for a greener ride-share industry. Residents and visitors in NYC can experience Revel’s electric ride-share service and get discounts by using a referral code in the Revel app.
