They’re revving back up!

Brooklyn e-scooter-sharing company Revel is ploughing ahead with its plans roll out an all-electric cab fleet later this summer, despite the city’s Taxi and Limousine Commission blocking the move last week.

“We’ll be launching a little later this summer,” said Revel co-founder and chief executive officer Frank Reig at the opening of the company’s electric vehicle charging ‘superhub’ in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, on Tuesday, June 29.

The city approved Brooklyn e-moped sharing company Revel’s plans to roll out a new rideshare service with 50 Tesla cabs on Monday, Aug. 2, after the firm sparred with the Taxi and Limousine Commission for months about getting their vehicles licensed.

“With our all-electric rideshare fleet and fast-charging superhub network, we’re investing in a zero-carbon transportation future,” said Revel co-founder and chief executive Frank Reig in a July 26 statement. “We’d like to thank Commissioner Jarmoszuk and the TLC for supporting New York City’s climate goals, and working with us to get the city’s first all-electric, all-employee driven fleet on the road.”
