"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 currently operates 64 fast charging bays 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 bays, with new locations such as a mega 60-bay station in Maspeth, Queens and a 48-bay 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.
