Florida Wants to Shift $200M in Federal EV Charging Funds to Air Taxi Infrastructure

Florida's Department of Transportation plans to redirect nearly $200 million in federal NEVI EV charging funds toward 32 eVTOL vertiports — landing pads for electric air taxis — at golf courses, airports, and luxury apartments. Florida never spent its NEVI allocation, citing sufficient private charging. The FHWA must approve repurposing funds for a mode lacking commercial passenger service.
