Called "DEAP Trees" , they're sleeker and taller than other curbside chargers — without messy cables that clutter the landscape and trip up pedestrians. DC fast chargers can replenish an EV battery in under an hour, but they're far more expensive to install and often require significant utility upgrades.

Revel has 54 public charging stalls in Brooklyn and Queens, with more locations coming soon — including 48 plugs at LaGuardia Airport.
