In more ways than one, it seem everybody is standardizing on NACS.

SAE is fast tracking a standard for NACS and Electrify America is adding NACS (Tesla) connectors to its charging network. Electrify America will continue to support CCS connectors as well. The NACS V4 connectors will be added to support 800V charging.

Joby Aviation Receives Special Airworthiness Certificate

Joby Marks Production Launch, Receives Permit to Fly First Aircraft Built on Production Line in Close Collaboration with Strategic Partner and Investor, Toyota - Toyota USA Newsroom

Toyota's Strategic Partner, Joby Aviation, was awarded a Special Airworthiness Certificate to begin testing its first production prototype. If you read the press release from Joby Aviation linked at the bottom of the article, you'll see it will be the first eVTOL aircraft to be delivered to a customer. The customer is the US Air Force as part of the Agility Prime contract. It'll begin flight testing at Edwards Air Force Base sometime this year.

Seems ironic that Toyota has pumped $400M into an electric aircraft company to produce BEA (Battery Electric Aircraft).
