Before any flying car takes off commercially in São Paulo, a problem far less futuristic than the design of electric aircraft needs to be solved: how to bring energy in high power, reliably, to the top of a building. To solve this challenge, Eve Air Mobility, a manufacturer controlled by Embraer, and the multinational Hitachi Energy announce a strategic alliance focused on the development of the charging infrastructure for vertical landing and t…
Hitachi Energy and Eve Air Mobility partner to research vertiport, charging options for eVTOLs
Hitachi Energy and Eve Air Mobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to assess the requirements for enabling vertiport operations, including power availability and high-power charging for eVTOL aircraft. Hitachi Energy will leverage its Grid-eMotion® charging infrastructure, already deployed globally and adapted to the specific requirements of eVTOL operations. The solution optimizes power usage and ensures reliable energy and stable performance for eVTOL high-demand application, say the companies in a press release. “The collaboration will also explore the potential to repurpose aircraft batteries for energy storage after their aviation lifecycle, thereby enhancing the overall ecosystem’s sustainability,” says the release. “The agreement also establishes a path for joint business modeling and coordinated customer engagement to enable the global scale-up of urban air mobility infrastructure.” For more information https://www.hitachienergy.com/fr/fr/news-and-events/press-releases/2026/07/hitachi-energy-and-eve-air-mobility-accelerate-electrification-infrastructure-powering-urban-air-mobility-at-scale
Hitachi Energy and Eve established an alliance to jointly develop the necessary electrical infrastructure for Eve's "flying car", i.e. the electric vehicle of takeoff and vertical landing (eVTOL).
Hitachi Energy and Eve Air Mobility Partner on Electrification Infrastructure for Urban Air Mobility
Hitachi Energy and Eve Air Mobility have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on the electrical infrastructure required to support urban air mobility (UAM) operations at scale. The agreement focuses on grid integration, charging infrastructure, and vertiport enablement for Eve’s eVTOL aircraft. The companies will assess power availability, high-power charging requirements, and the integration of new energy demand into existing gri…
