Archer, BETA and Macquarie Plan US Air Taxi Charging Network

Archer Aviation (ACHR), BETA Technologies (BETA), and Macquarie Capital formed ACES to build a US air taxi charging network. They plan 250 charging locations using BETA's open-standard chargers. Archer will use it for passenger services, while BETA's customers can access it for cargo and medical transport. Macquarie will advise on financing. Deployment is tied to the FAA's eVTOL program and will occur in stages.
