Beta Technologies nearly doubled the number of electric aircraft chargers in its nationwide charging network over the last 12 months, the Vermont-based company announced on January 7. With 30 new charging stations coming online in 2024, Beta now has chargers at 46 sites across 22 states. An additional 23 sites for both public and private use are currently in the planning and development stages, according to Beta.

The electric aircraft manufacturer's multimodal “charge cubes” are universal charging stations that support electric aircraft as well as ground vehicles like cars, buses, and airport ground support equipment. The charge cubes feature 320-kilowatt DC fast chargers with 50-foot cables and standard CCS1 (combined charging system combo 1) plugs, which are compatible with most electric vehicles in North America. Each charging station connects to the grid with an AC/DC inverter and can support up to two charge cubes at a time. Customers can locate chargers and pay via Beta’s mobile app.
