Florida seeks to redirect $200M in EV charger funds toward air taxi infrastructure

Florida is proposing to divert $200 million in federally allocated electric vehicle charging funds toward building air taxi landing pads. The planned network would connect airports, luxury apartment buildings, and golf courses across the state. The move represents a significant shift away from the original intent of the federal funding, which was designated for EV charging infrastructure. The proposal raises questions about the reallocation of public transportation funds toward premium, niche mobility services.
