This vehicle’s ability to carry and launch a two-person electric drone while comfortably seating four passengers makes it special. Think of it as a mobile landing pad that could help emergency responders reach people faster or give commuters new options for beating traffic. It does all this while running primarily on clean electricity.

The Land Aircraft Carrier’s 800-volt battery system powers the vehicle and can charge the flying module up to six times. Even when charged on today’s electrical grid, this system produces significantly less lifetime pollution than conventional vehicles.

While some might worry about the environmental impact of manufacturing EV batteries, the math is clear: Even including battery production, electric vehicles are cleaner than gas-powered alternatives. The clean energy transition will require mining about 30 million tons of minerals annually, while we currently extract 16.5 billion tons of ****** fuels each year. That’s 550 times more extraction for traditional fuel sources.
