Florida Redirects $200M EV Funding to Develop Electric Air Taxi Infrastructure
Florida is redirecting $200 million from EV charging infrastructure to develop electric air taxi (eVTOL) landing pads, citing underdeveloped EV charging networks. The move aims to address traffic congestion through emerging air mobility solutions, despite criticism over prioritizing eVTOLs over EV infrastructure.
Florida wants to use federal EV charger funds to build an air taxi network connecting golf courses, luxury apartment buildings, and airports.
