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

Florida officials plan to redirect nearly $200 million in federal funding originally intended for electric vehicle charging infrastructure toward building 32 landing pads with chargers for electric air taxis. The state says private companies have sufficiently built EV charging networks, despite Florida having fewer chargers per EV than the national average. The proposed sites include airports, golf courses, and luxury apartment buildings, while other states have used similar funds for community EV chargers.
