Revel Showcases Leadership in Grid-Optimized Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging at New Williamsburg Superhub, Scaling Impact on NYC's Energy Transition
Using leading virtual power plant software, Revel supports New York City's grid during extreme heat events showcasing the future of climate resiliency in an increasingly electrified sector NEW YORK, August 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As electrification surges across New York City, Revel is showcasing leadership in grid-optimized electric vehicle (EV) charging. The Brooklyn-based electric mobility pioneer has officially activated SmartKit Demand Response technology at its new Supercharging Hub located at the historic Dime Building (275 South 5th Street, Williamsburg) — a state-of-the-art charging site that supports the city's clean energy transition while reducing emissions and grid strain. This marks Revel's fourth year participating in grid services across its various facilities. The Williamsburg facility represents the latest milestone in Revel's partnership with SmartKit®, a virtual power plant (VPP) software developed by Logical Buildings. By strategically shifting the timing of vehicle charging sessions, Revel helps alleviate pressure on the grid during peak hours — when electricity is both dirtiest and most expensive — while generating revenue through utility-provided Demand Response incentives. As New York City accelerates toward a carbon-free grid under its ambitious climate goals, grid-interactive electric vehicle infrastructure will be critical. Charging intelligently, particularly during extreme weather and demand spikes, reduces emissions from peaker plants — which can emit twice as much CO₂ and 20 times more NOₓ than traditional power sources. Revel's grid-responsive operations were put to the test as New York City kicked off the 2025 Demand Response season with three consecutive curtailment events from June 23 to June 25, many lasting 10+ hours each. This sustained effort, which required Revel to dynamically schedule charging loads across its infrastructure, played a key role in supporting grid stability during an unprecedented strain on the electric system due to extreme heat with temperatures soaring in the triple digits on June 24. "Our Williamsburg Superhub proves that EV infrastructure can be a grid asset, not a strain, by dynamically responding to grid stress signals," said Paul Suhey, Revel COO & Co-Founder. "As electricity demand rises with electrification and continued extreme heat events, smart charging plays a crucial role in helping New York build a resilient, decarbonized future." The severity of the recent grid stress cannot be overstated. On Tuesday, June 24, the utility provider in New York and Westchester forecasted electricity usage to reach 100.71% of the system peak — a rare and urgent grid stressor. (By comparison, Demand Response events are typically triggered when demand hits just 92% of peak capacity). Additionally, the New York Independent System Operator (NYISO) reported that peak electricity demand reached 31,857 megawatts (MW) during the three-day heat wave—the highest level recorded since 2016.1 During these critical events Revel's actions provided immediate and measurable grid-positive relief. At its Williamsburg Superhub, which houses 15 public EV charging stalls capable of fully charging a vehicle in 20 minutes or less, Revel curtailed 250 kilowatts of load, contributing to avoided emissions from fossil fuel peaker plants. This targeted load reduction is expected to yield tens of thousands in grid services revenue — while delivering instantaneous and impactful resiliency for the local power grid. "Revel is showing how electric mobility companies can actively participate in electric load management," said David Klatt, President of Logical Buildings. "By using SmartKit, Revel is turning electric load into flexible, responsive capacity — a replicable model for cities looking to decarbonize while electrifying. As cities decarbonize, electric use will rise—and this new electric demand needs to be grid-interactive." The Revel–SmartKit® partnership first launched in 2021 with the company's electric moped fleet and has now evolved into a powerful model for full-scale EV infrastructure. With the new Williamsburg Superhub online and integrated into New York's Demand Response programs, Revel is actively shaping the next phase of grid flexibility and reliability.

Akyso Therapeutics Expands Pipeline with New NIH Grant for Buprenorphine Implant Following Successful Phase 1a Trial of Naltrexone Implant
SALISBURY, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Akyso Therapeutics, a privately held biotechnology company developing long-acting subcutaneous drug delivery systems, today announced two major milestones: (1) the successful completion of its first-in-human Phase 1a clinical trial of iSTEP-N®, a bioabsorbable extended-release naltrexone implant for opioid use disorder (OUD) engineered to delivery naltrexone for 12 months following a single, simple, in office treatment, and (2) the receipt of $15 million in federal funding from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to develop a parallel12 month buprenorphine-based implant (iSTEP-B®) for OUD. The iSTEP products represent disruptive ultra long acting formulations of both naltrexone and buprenorphine and with them Akyso Therapeutics is poised to capture a large portion of the $3B OUD treatment market in the US. Share Key Highlights: Phase 1a trial demonstrated that the iSTEP-N® implant was well-tolerated with no serious adverse events or implant-related complications. Sustained therapeutic plasma levels of naltrexone were observed for three months following a single implant. Residual Naltrexone content of the implant after 3-months suggests potential for 12-month efficacy. The iSTEP® platform utilizes a proprietary, fully bioabsorbable polymer system that does not require surgical removal. A Phase 1b study in patients with OUD is planned for early 2026 and will include a comparison to Vivitrol®. $15 million NIDA grant awarded for the development of a 6-12-month extended-release buprenorphine implant, iSTEP-B®. 'We are thrilled to share not only the success of our Phase 1a iSTEP-N® trial, but also the launch of our buprenorphine implant program with support from NIDA,' said Steven Cohen, MD, FACS, co-founder and co-CEO of Akyso Therapeutics. 'This expanded funding and validation from the NIH will allow us to pursue our dual-track approach to transforming OUD treatment with both naltrexone and buprenorphine.' Naltrexone and buprenorphine formulations represent over 90 percent of treatment options for OUD in the United States. The iSTEP products represent disruptive ultra long acting formulations of both naltrexone and buprenorphine and with them Akyso Therapeutics is poised to capture a large portion of the $3B OUD treatment market in the US. The new buprenorphine implant project builds directly upon Akyso's iSTEP® platform. iSTEP-B® will use the same bioabsorbable, subcutaneous delivery system as iSTEP-N®, with the goal of delivering therapeutic buprenorphine levels continuously for more than six months. The company plans to follow a similar clinical development pathway, including formulation, CMC analytics, GLP toxicology, and human trials. 'Our goal is to offer patients long-acting, discreet treatments that reduce relapse risk during the most vulnerable stages of recovery,' said Jeffrey Benner, MD, co-founder and co-CEO. 'With iSTEP-N® entering patient trials and iSTEP-B® now funded for development, we are well-positioned to provide scalable, very long acting, implantable therapies for both opioid and alcohol use disorders.' Akyso's iSTEP-N® program is supported in part by NIDA (UH3DA048338). A description of the Phase 1a trial is available on under the identifier NCT06053197. The new iSTEP-B® buprenorphine program is supported by a separate $15 million federal grant (2025–2029). For more information on Akyso Therapeutics or partnership opportunities, please contact:
