Revel, originally known for its electric mopeds and later its rideshare service, is discontinuing its ridesharing operations. CEO Frank Reig cited intense competition from larger companies like Uber and Lyft, leading to low margins. The company will now focus on expanding its electric vehicle charging infrastructure in major cities. This strategic shift aims to support the growing demand for EV charging and contribute to the broader transition to electric vehicles.
