Moped-share company Revel to build car-charging hub in Brooklyn
Planned site is former Pfizer building
Revel, the company that operates fleets of shared mopeds in several U.S. cities, announced Wednesday that it is building a charging hub for electric vehicles at the former Pfizer building on Flushing Avenue in South Williamsburg this spring.
The charging facility will be the first in a network of car-charging hubs planned for New York City in an effort to promote the use of electric vehicles, company officials, including CEO and co-founder Frank Reig, said in a news release.
The initial charging hub will have 30 stations capable of delivering 100 miles of charge to vehicles in about 20 minutes, the company said.
