By bringing 250+ interoperable charging sites in eIPP markets and beyond, Americaโs Consortium for Electric Skyways is helping to lay the foundation for the United States to win in the next era of advanced aviation."๐๐๐๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ข๐ง, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of Archer Aviation:"Electric air taxi operations can't scale without the infrastructure to charge them. That's why we're building the backbone to support the next 250 years of electric aviation in America. We're putting interoperable chargers in the locations where we plan to fly, including the core eIPP markets, and using the industry-adopted charging standard so every operator can share in their usage and distribute the cost across the whole industry. This is how you build the foundation for the next-gen aviation technologies that will transform how Americans move through their cities.โ๐๐ฒ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐ค, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of BETA Technologies:"The infrastructure required to open our nationโs airports and future vertiports to advanced air mobility is a fraction of what people expect. By deploying interoperable chargers built on an open standard, we're putting in place nearly all the physical infrastructure this industry needs, built so every operator can use it."๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐ ๐๐ซ๐ค๐๐ฌ, Managing Director, Aerospace, Defense & Government Services, Macquarie Capital:โMacquarie Capital has spent three decades building essential infrastructure that powers economies around the world. This consortium brings together the right combination of technology, operations, and advice on arranging capital to do the same for electric aviation. We are helping to build the foundation of a national network that every eVTOL manufacturer can rely on, and a template for how partnerships can accelerate the next generation of urban mobility in America and beyond."
