Florida wants to redirect $200 million in federal EV charger funds to air taxis

Florida is seeking to repurpose $200 million in federal funding earmarked for EV charging infrastructure to instead support electric air taxis (eVTOLs). The move is controversial because eVTOLs have not yet received FAA approval to operate. Critics argue the redirection abandons a concrete EV infrastructure commitment in favour of unproven technology.
