China's flying cars ready for liftoff with EV technology

GUANGZHOU -- XPeng, EHang and other Chinese companies are commercializing flying cars this year, tapping the country's advantages in electric car technologies to claim a large share of the emerging global market.

XPeng AeroHT, a subsidiary of the electric vehicle startup, aims to sell a dual-mode electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) vehicle, which can drive on land like a car and detach a flying module for air travel.
