Archer Aviation has partnered with BETA Technologies and Macquarie Capital to launch America’s Consortium for Electric Skyways (ACES). This initiative will establish a standardized charging network for electric aircraft.
The consortium plans to electrify more than 250 sites across the United States. The project aims for completion by 2030.
Sites will deploy BETA’s chargers using the industry-standard Combined Charging Standard (CCS). This infrastructure supports the commercial rollout of electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft.
Initial operations will focus on major metropolitan areas in New York, California, Texas, and Florida. Macquarie Capital is providing financial and strategic advisory for the project.
