Flying cars is the new normal, said no one except for The Jetsons. The transport segment is seeing a shift from fossil to electrical. Moreover, increasing vehicles are leading to hefty traffic and time consumption. Stellantis (NYSE: STLA), an automotive company coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and French PSA Group merger, is giving a push to eliminate this scenario.
Sounds Like Jetsons in 1962
CNBC reported that the company will help Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR) to achieve their target to manufacture flying vehicles by 2025. Following the news, STLA stock jumped and closed at over 3% higher than the previous day close, meanwhile ACHR stock rose by almost 10%. Both the company CEOs, Carlos Tavares (Stellantis) and Adam Goldstein (Archer Aviation) affirmed the merger during a CNBC interview.
Stellantis has developed EVs in the past through brands like Dodge, Chrysler and more. Now the company is stretching their operations to a higher altitude with eVTOLs. Tavares said that the organization has robust finances and tech to grow amid the recession fears.
Flying taxis sound magical, while its electrical version sounds ecological. Still, flying EVs need to deal with the charging infrastructure. While you can stop and roll a discharged car by pushing it, a discharged eVTOL in mid-air is as useful as water in a petrol tank. The “vertistops” — charging stations on building tops — is a solution to aerial charging infrastructure.
