Hitachi and Eve Team to Provide eVTOL Charging
Partners will prioritize applications in Brazil and the U.S.markets
Eve 100 eVTOL aircraft
Hitachi Energy and eVTOL aircraft manufacturer Eve Air Mobility are working together on electric charging infrastructure.

Hitachi Energy and Eve Air Mobility are working together to develop electric charging infrastructure for eVTOL aircraft, such as the Eve 100 model being developed by the Embraer subsidiary. Under a partnership announced on Friday, Hitachi will adapt its Grid-eMotion technology—already in use with buses and trucks—to support electric aircraft.

According to Marco Berardi, head of grid and power quality solutions at Hitachi, engineers at both companies will explore the potential for both rapid and ultra-fast charging options. The equipment uses the Combined Charging System global standard that is already compatible with many vehicles and most eVTOL aircraft in development.
