Electric vehicle ride-hail and charging company Revel is going where it’s wanted.

Revel announced details of its next raft of charging stations in the San Francisco Bay Area .

The company has signed eight leases in San Francisco , San Jose , and Oakland .

Revel's strategy of sticking to blue cities points to a concern among electric vehicle and climate advocates.

Manufacturers, labor unions, community organizations, and large companies already experimenting with EVs all have reasons to want chargers in the ground.

Advocates don’t believe those constituencies will go away just because of an administration change.

To create demand for that sort of industry, more Americans will need to buy into electric vehicles.
