EV charging sucks — can smart cameras make it better?


Computer vision for stress-free EV charging.

Revel, the shared moped-turned-ridehail service, is partnering with a startup called Juice to install smart cameras at its EV charging sites in New York City that are mostly utilized by rideshare drivers. James Murfin, cofounder and CEO of Juice, told me he got the idea after staking out several public EV chargers in the US and Europe with a stopwatch and clocking how long it took for people to initiate a charge. Moving forward, Revel has plans to install around 200 additional EV chargers in New York City, including 60 in Queens, 48 near LaGuardia Airport, and more in the South Bronx.
