Case Study: Revel optimizes EV charging and supports grid resilience with Logical Buildings

Revel plugs Into GridRewards to Help Decarbonize NYC’s Electric Grid and Earn Revenue

Revel, a Brooklyn-based e-mobility company operating electric mopeds, taxis, and other EV services, needed a way to keep its charging operations cost-effective while supporting grid reliability as it expanded. To address this challenge, Revel worked with Logical Buildings and used its GridRewards virtual power plant software to gain visibility into energy usage and manage charging more intelligently.

With Logical Buildings’ solution, Revel dynamically shifted charging schedules to off-peak periods during critical grid events, including NYC’s June 2021 heat wave. This helped Revel support demand response when the grid needed it most, delivering resiliency equivalent to powering 100 homes with carbon-free energy, earning revenue for participation, and positioning Revel as the first electric mobility company to use virtual power plant technology to optimize charging operations.
