Supernal is teaming with Electric Power Systems to boost battery technologies for eVTOL air taxis. The companies plan to work together to accelerate the development of lightweight eVTOL batteries and to enable longer, more affordable air taxi flights while continuing to improve vehicle performance as the urban air mobility market matures.

“Advanced air mobility requires an expansive value chain, and many aspects—from battery power to digital infrastructure and passenger experience—require improvements and cross-chain integration to enable progress,” said Jaiwon Shin, president of Hyundai Motor Group and CEO of Supernal. “We are humbled and excited to work with Electric Power Systems and develop game-changing technologies that will revolutionize air travel and increase human possibility.”
