Companies partner up to electrify aviation infrastructure

By General Aviation News Staff · February 15, 2024 ·

NEENAH, Wisconsin — Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions is collaborating with Tennessee-based sustainable transportation solutions company PowerUp America to electrify the infrastructure at airports, vertiports, and other electric mobility locations in the United States.

“Our partnership with VI&E Solutions is a groundbreaking initiative to develop an airport charging network throughout the region,” said Josh Turner, CEO of PowerUp America. “This collaboration marks a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize the transportation landscape by integrating sustainable energy solutions with our nation’s aviation infrastructure.”

“The US electric grid is over 100 years old,” said Bob Johnson, Chief Commercial Officer, VI&E Solutions. “We must remember it was not built for efficiency. We look forward to working hand-in-hand with PowerUp America to complement strategies for a new standard for eVTOL charging in advanced air mobility. Our partnership will be where the future lands today,” said Bob Johnson, Chief Commercial Officer, VI&E Solutions.

Founded in 2021, Volatus Infrastructure & Energy Solutions offers charging stations for electric vehicles across all mediums: Air, land, and sea, company officials said.

    What a waste of money. These people need to watch what is happening to the EV industry – it is tanking quickly.
