Brooklyn-based electric mobility and infrastructure company, Revel, announced in July it has now hired more than 1,000 New Yorkers as W-2 employees for its all-electric fleet – adding that it plans to nearly double its driver workforce to over 1,800 drivers by the end of 2023.
“Since day-one, Revel has operated with the belief that respecting drivers’ labor with fair and living wages, real flexibility and choice, and the dignity that comes with being a full member of the Revel team is the best way to grow this business.” said Keith Williams, Revel’s Vice President of Rideshare Operations.
Revel drivers operate the company’s all-electric fleet of Tesla Model Ys, Model 3s and Kia Niro EVs. They can pick-up and drop-off in all five boroughs of NYC, plus parts of northern New Jersey, and to-and-from the three major NYC airports.
According to the company, “Revel drivers have guaranteed hourly wages, keep 100% of their tips and can access benefits like healthcare, paid time off and 401(k) retirement planning. Drivers are not responsible for vehicle lease, maintenance, charging, cleaning or other costs. Revel also does not restrict drivers from driving for other platforms when not on-shift for Revel.”
