Revel reemerges in San Francisco with its first EV fast chargers on West Coast
Why it matters: Building a robust network of public EV chargers is crucial to helping San Francisco meet its ambitious climate goals of electrifying 25% of all private vehicles by 2030 and 100% by 2040. The city also hopes to reach net-zero carbon emissions by that year.
Driving the news: The company — mostly known in the city for its discontinued electric moped service — opened its first West Coast-based EV charging hub in the city's Mission District with 12 publicly-available DC-fast chargers.
Between the lines: San Francisco has one of the highest EV ownership rates in the U.S, with more than 35% of new vehicle sales being electric in 2024. Nationwide, the average hovers around 8%.
What they're saying:"Our goal is to build urban fast charging that all EV drivers can rely on," Paul Suhey, Revel's co-founder and COO, said at Monday's ribbon-cutting ceremony.
"San Francisco is open for business and I'm excited to be here with Revel, a company that shares our vision to electrify transport and reduce emissions in our city," Mayor Daniel Lurie said, who added that the chargers will help speed up adoption of EV ownership.
How it works: Each charger has a 320 kW capacity, with the ability to charge a car to about 80% in about 20 minutes to an hour.
Charging prices start at 59 cents a kilowatt hour.
The big picture: The company's announcement follows a two-year hiatus in San Francisco since 2023 after which it re-pivoted its business towards building out large public fast-charging networks.
Revel currently operates 100 EV chargers in New York.
By the numbers: The city currently has 1,152 public EV chargers with plans to expand to at least 1,750 by 2030, according to Joseph Piasecki, a spokesperson at the San Francisco Environment Department.
962 of those are slower level two chargers, while the remaining 190 are DC fast chargers. That means the city will need to build 158 more fast chargers and 450 more level two chargers to get to the 2030 goal, Piasecki added.
In total, SF has more than 3,400 public and shared private chargers, according to state estimates.
What's next: The company plans on building six more charging stations across the Bay Area this year, with South San Francisco, Oakland and downtown San Francisco each receiving two.

Why Nio Stock Jumped 42% in July
Key Points Nio is betting on its sub-brands Onvo and Firefly to drive growth. Early response to its Onvo L90 SUV has exceeded expectations. With Nio starting L90 deliveries, its sales should pick up pace. 10 stocks we like better than Nio › After a dismal first half of the year, Nio (NYSE: NIO) stock made a dramatic comeback in July and surged 42% in the month, according to data provided by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Earlier in July, Nio reported a 17.5% year-over-year growth in deliveries for June. The Chinese electric-vehicle (EV) maker's recently launched sub-brands, Firefly and Onvo, contributed 40% to its June sales, and that's what caught everyone's attention. Although Nio launched its first Onvo model L60 late last year, its all-electric large three-row L90 SUV sparked unprecedented optimism last month. In the two weeks following the start of L90 pre-sales on July 10, Nio's stock shot up over 40% on the Hong Kong stock exchange. The optimism spilled over to the U.S., and Nio shares surged on the New York Stock Exchange as investors bet on a potential turnaround. Can Nio stock fly higher? Nio's deliveries of 24,925 vehicles in June was its highest so far this year. However, the company's July delivery numbers are already in, and it delivered only 21,017 vehicles in the month. That explains why Nio stock is down about 8% in August, as of this writing. Should investors be worried, though? I'd say no, because August should be a bigger month for Nio as it began deliveries of L90 on August 1. A local media report stated that Onvo president Shen Fei has set an internal target of delivering over 10,000 units of L90 in August alone. If Nio hits that number, the Onvo L90 will achieve the highest monthly sales among all of Nio's models in the company's history. Nio is aggressively ramping up production of L90 to fulfill deliveries. Meanwhile, Nio's other sub-brand Firefly, targeted to the mass market, is rapidly expanding overseas. Firefly launched its first namesake compact electric car in April this year to take on the BMW Mini and the Mercedes-Benz Smart. By the end of 2025, Nio expects Firefly to be available in 20 overseas markets, primarily across Europe. Nio will also launch its next-generation ES8 SUV in the coming months, which management believes should drive its Nio brand sales to 25,000 units per month. If management's numbers fall in place, Nio could soon be selling over 35,000 cars every month. Back in April, I believed Nio stock was incredibly cheap and a top value EV stock to buy. Given the company's push into mass markets and aggressive goals for L90, I see a lot more upside in the stock price. Should you invest $1,000 in Nio right now?
