The station's strategic location next to the 101 freeway enhances accessibility for EV drivers, making it a convenient option for those in the area.

Revel aims to replicate its successful New York City charging network in San Francisco, which boasts the highest rate of electric vehicle ownership in the U.S.

This launch follows Revel's recent opening of 24 new chargers at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City, further solidifying its presence in major urban areas.

Revel is also focusing on expanding its network in New York, with plans to increase its total to 300 chargers by the end of 2025, including a significant 60-stall hub in Queens.

Located in the Mission District at 199 Erie Street, the new station features 12 charging stalls equipped with 320kW Kempower chargers, providing high-speed charging for a variety of electric vehicles.

This station is just the beginning, as Revel plans to open 125 additional chargers in the Bay Area over the next year, including seven more stations and two at San Francisco's airport.

The chargers at the new station feature a 50/50 split of CCS and NACS charging heads, accommodating a wide range of electric vehicles, provided users have the necessary adapters.

During the station's ribbon-cutting event, co-founder and COO Paul Suhey highlighted the importance of reliable fast charging in promoting electric vehicle adoption.

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie attended the opening ceremony, emphasizing that the new chargers will support the city's transition to electric vehicles, which have accounted for one-third of vehicle sales over the past two years.

Revel, a Brooklyn-based electric vehicle charging startup, has launched its first fast-charging station in San Francisco, marking a significant step in its expansion into the Bay Area.

In 2024, over 35% of new vehicle sales in San Francisco were electric, highlighting the growing demand for charging infrastructure in the city.

Revel aims to establish charging hubs in densely populated urban areas, focusing on reliability to set itself apart from competitors in the EV charging market.
