EHang this week issued what it described as a “suggested” retail price for its EH216-S eVTOL aircraft. The Chinese manufacturer announced on February 1 that from April 1 the two-passenger, autonomous vehicle will be priced at RMB2.39 million ($334,000).

Very few other eVTOL manufacturers have published confirmed pricing for their aircraft. However, indicative pricing based on announced sales agreements with operators, suggests that Western-made models are priced in millions rather than hundreds of thousands of dollars. The closest equivalent aircraft is probably Volocopter's two-seat VoloCity for which pricing has not yet been announced.
