GM's potential foray into "personal air mobility" was announced as part of Cadillac's portfolio of luxury and EV vehicles. It included an autonomous shuttle and an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, or more commonly known as a flying car or air taxi.
Honda has provided the world with a great deal of value through a number of mobility products. Now, we are working to create eVTOL, electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft, which fly on a new layer of the sky that is much closer to the ground than the existing layer used by airplanes.
Last year, Stellantis signed a long-term agreement with Archer Aviation to provide access to its engineering, supply chain, and manufacturing expertise.
Porsche is working with Embraer’s Eve Air Mobility unit to deliver a working prototype by 2026.
Toyota has invested $390 million into California-based Joby Aviation, one of the most promising startups in the fast-growing field.
Hyundai has taken one of the most public leaps, incubating and investing billions of dollars in its startup, Supernal. In July, the company unveiled at the Farnborough International Airshow a five-passenger eVOTL cabin reminiscent of a sedan interior.
“The eVTOL vehicles could be a threat to future automobile sales,” he says, “and the car companies are now hedging for a far-out future.”
Just days ago, Duke & US Airforce made history.

Key is of course, e-VTOL use alot more lithium, than an EV.
"EV demand" also does not include electrifying the US & Canadian military applications.
Solid state is 2-3 x's more lithium.
There are so many industries looking to expand / secure, & new industries on horizon.
16 mt's of high purity lithium, should look real good out there. 0.8
