PLANO,
Texas and NEW YORK,
Oct. 15,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Toyota Motor North America
(Toyota) and Revel announced today an agreement to provide Toyota
and Lexus battery electric vehicle (BEV) customers with
complimentary access to Revel's DC fast charging network in
New York City for approximately
three years through October 14, 2027.
Revel currently operates the largest network of public fast
charging stations in New York
City, with four high-volume stations open 24/7 offering both
NACS and CCS plug types.
"Charging should be a seamless experience and is crucial for
customer satisfaction," said Christopher
Yang, group vice president, Toyota EV Charging Solutions.
"Working with Revel will help elevate the charging experience for
our customers in the New York City
area while underscoring Toyota's commitment to supporting
sustainable mobility solutions and enhancing the ownership
experience."
Toyota Ventures, Toyota's early-stage venture capital firm,
first invested in Revel in 2019 and has supported Revel's efforts
to expand its DC fast charging network in New York City and other markets by providing
Toyota the ability to further research and evaluate charging
program opportunities. Supplying Toyota bZ4X and Lexus RZ battery
EV (BEV) customers with complimentary access to Revel's charging
network supports Toyota's goals to increase widespread adoption of
electric vehicles through customer convenience.
"Revel is proud to build on our strategic collaboration with
Toyota to accelerate urban EV adoption. As we expand our charging
network in New York and
California, we are excited to
create more opportunities for Toyota and Lexus drivers to charge
fast and, starting now, charge free," said Frank Reig, Revel's co-founder & CEO.
Revel currently operates 64 fast charging stalls in New York City across four stations in
Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. That includes the recently opened Pier
36 Charging Station, Revel's first site in downtown Manhattan featuring ten 320 kW chargers. In
the next year, Revel is planning to grow its NYC network to 300
fast charging stalls, with new locations such as a mega 60-stall
station in Maspeth, Queens and a 48-stall station outside
LaGuardia Airport. The company also has seven sites in development
across the Bay Area and recently announced its first lease signed
in downtown Los Angeles.
