Description
In this episode, we're diving into Revel – a dynamic startup that's revolutionizing how we move around cities. Starting with their iconic electric mopeds in New York, Revel has grown into a powerhouse, tackling urban electrification head-on.
Frank Reig, the CEO of Revel, gives us the inside scoop on how he turned his vision into reality, from convincing Texas lawmakers to embrace his ideas to launching a fleet of electric vehicles in the heart of NYC.
But Revel's story is more than just cool blue Teslas and mopeds whizzing through city streets.
Join us as we discuss the ins and outs of building a climate impact company, the evolution from shared mobility to electrification, and the bold bets that paid off. Revel's journey is a story of innovation, persistence, and a deep commitment to a greener future.
