Archer Aviation, BETA Technologies, Macquarie form ACES consortium to deploy interoperable eVTOL charging at 250+ US sites by 2030

Archer Aviation formed ACES with BETA Technologies and Macquarie Capital to build interoperable charging across more than 250 U.S. air taxi sites by 2030.

• The consortium targets standardized CCS-based charging to support scaled eVTOL operations near major metro airports and vertiports.
• BETA will supply charging hardware.
• Macquarie Capital will advise on strategy and help arrange investment capital for site acquisition and buildout.
• The network is designed as shared infrastructure for multiple operators, with Archer planning to use it for passenger VTOL air taxi service.
