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.

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.

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.
