Revel to Bring All-Electric Ride-Hailing to New York City Streets

Revel is preparing to roll out a fully electric ride-hailing operation in New York City, according to a Wall Street Journal report. The move marks another step in the company’s expansion beyond the moped-sharing and fast-charging businesses it has built its brand on in the city.

The service would put electric vehicles directly into the city’s passenger transport market, where traditional ride-hailing fleets have long relied on gasoline-powered cars. By going all-electric from the start, Revel is positioning itself around lower emissions and a different ownership model than the incumbent platforms.

New York City has become a key testing ground for micromobility and electrified transport startups, giving Revel a dense, transit-heavy market to prove its concept. Details on timing, fleet size and vehicle choice have not been confirmed in the report.
