Florida plans to build air taxi pads using $200M intended for EV chargers

But the Florida DOT is hopeful that the small aircraft, which generally hold four to five passengers, will alleviate the state’s notorious traffic.

The NEVI program, under updated guidance from the Trump administration, allows states with “fully built out” EV charging corridors to reallocate the money toward “EV charging infrastructure on any public road or in other publicly accessible locations.”

Other states like New York and North Carolina have used the funding to build chargers in communities, which allow renters and homeowners without assigned parking to charge EVs.

Florida’s plan envisions landing pads and chargers for air taxis at places like golf courses, luxury apartment buildings, and airports, the Herald said.
