Ride-hailing company Revel is eyeing the abandoned Supercharger sites of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) in New York to expand its own charging station network.
What Happened: According to Teslarati, Revel is negotiating to take over four Supercharger sites that Tesla left behind following the disbandment of its Supercharging team last week. The New York-based firm, which has been building its own charging stations, views Tesla’s decision as a growth opportunity.
These four sites, originally intended to house about 60 charging stalls, are largely power-ready and align with Revel’s expansion objectives. “Tesla left some really nice sites on the table,” Revel spokesperson Robert Familiar said, as per the report. “They're essentially ready to go. Those kinds of sites are super rare, and we are actively looking to pursue them.”
