Brooklyn-based electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure start-up Revel has opened its first-ever fast-charging hub in San Francisco as part of the company’s California expansion.

The station features 12 320kW chargers within the hub that were designed and manufactured by Kempower.

Revel’s expansion plan includes adding more than 125 chargers to the downtown areas of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, and South San Francisco over the next year.

Frank Reig, Co-founder and CEO of Revel, said:

“For years, Revel has operated the largest, fastest, and most reliable fast-charging network in New York City. Now we’re bringing our model to the number one EV market in North America.”

Revel is reportedly the main provider of public EV fast-charging in New York City and handles the country’s only all-electric rideshare platform.

Mayor of San Francisco, Daniel Lurie, said:

“San Francisco has always been a leader in electric vehicle adoption, and these new chargers will make it even easier for residents to make the switch to EVs with fast and reliable charging. We are open for business, and that means attracting new companies and supporting our own businesses to build a cleaner, greener, and more vibrant city.”

Only last week, Revel deployed 24 new chargers at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
