Voltera and Revel Combine, Creating Scaled EV Infrastructure Platform for Fleet and Autonomous Mobility
On May 26, 2026, Voltera and Revel announced a definitive agreement to merge their businesses, forming a next-generation infrastructure platform focused on developing, owning, and operating fast-charging networks built specifically for autonomous vehicles, electric fleets, and ride-hail services in dense urban markets.
The combined company will unite Voltera’s expertise in real estate, development, and power infrastructure with Revel’s operational experience and established urban charging footprint. Together, the platform is expected to include more than 1,000 charging stalls either operational or under development across 11 major U.S. metro markets, creating one of the nation’s largest dedicated charging networks for fleet and autonomous vehicle customers.
“Voltera and Revel have both spent years working to build charging infrastructure that works for the operators deploying fleets at scale in dense cities around the country,” said Frank Reig, incoming CEO of Voltera. “Bringing these teams together is the natural next step to deliver greater scale and stronger solutions in the key markets where fleet and autonomous vehicle customers need reliable infrastructure the most.”
“I’m proud of what the Voltera team has built, from our development pipeline to the customer relationships and infrastructure platform we’ve established,” said Brett Hauser, CEO of Voltera. “Revel is the right partner for Voltera, with both companies recognizing early on the importance of their shared vision for the future of EV charging infrastructure. I’m confident in the path ahead and believe the combined platform is well-positioned for the future.”
“The electrification of urban mobility is one of the most capital-intensive infrastructure buildouts of this decade, and the operators who move first in the right markets, and with the right assets, will define the category,” said Erwin Thompson, Partner at EQT. “Together, we believe that Voltera and Revel will be well-positioned to lead the next phase of urban EV infrastructure deployment.”
Following the close of the transaction, the merged company will continue operating under the Voltera name and brand. Revel CEO Frank Reig will lead the organization, while current Voltera CEO Brett Hauser will step down from the CEO role and remain involved in a senior commercial advisory position to support the transition and ongoing growth of the platform.
By combining Voltera’s development capabilities and customer relationships with Revel’s operational expertise, the company aims to accelerate the expansion of electric and autonomous mobility infrastructure. The strategy will focus heavily on customer needs, with market selection, site design, and deployment schedules tailored to fleet operators and autonomous vehicle customers. Investments will target high-value urban markets where demand for fast charging is expected to grow rapidly.
The company also plans to maintain a capital-efficient growth strategy by prioritizing sites that align with fleet and autonomous vehicle operations. Existing projects from both companies will continue moving forward while the combined organization refines a unified development pipeline and long-term capital strategy.
Beyond charging infrastructure for autonomous and ride-hail fleets, the platform intends to explore additional opportunities including EV fleet charging for non-autonomous operators, battery storage and energy management solutions, and integrated fleet services designed to support customer operations.
As part of the transaction, EQT will become the majority owner of the combined company, while Global Infrastructure Partners, part of BlackRock and Revel’s current lead sponsor, will retain a minority stake.
