Maspeth Will Be Home To Revel’s Largest Public EV Charging Site

QUEENS — Revel, the electric moped and vehicle company, said it’s installing a 60-stall electric vehicle charging station in Maspeth, the company’s largest expansion so far.

The hub in Maspeth will have 60 stalls by the end of the year to charge electric vehicles to the public and the company’s own rideshare service Tesla vehicles.

“The only way mass EV adoption will ever happen in New York City is if the charging infrastructure is there to support it,” said Revel CEO and Co-Founder Frank Reig. “We need high-volume, public sites in the neighborhoods where people actually live and work.”

Revel is building five new EV charging sites in New York City, adding 136 public charging stalls across the city. The sites will be open to any brand of electric vehicle 24 hours a day.

Vehicles will take 10 to 20 minutes to charge at each station.

By the end of the year, the company says it will have 30 stalls in Port Morris, in the Bronx, 20 stalls in Red Hook, Brooklyn, 16 stalls in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and 10 stalls at Pier 36 on the Lower East Side.

According to Plugshare, there are currently 71 fast-charging stalls across the five boroughs that are public.

The company website shows a map that includes the location, number of stalls, plug types, speed, hours, and fee information for each site.
