Bevirt: Joby Aviation will launch routes up to 100 miles
“So, so it's we'll be launching on routes of up to a hundred miles.”
Bevirt: Hydrogen has 100 times higher specific energy than modern batteries
“Hydrogen is a hundred times higher specific energy than today's batteries is three times higher specific energy than jet fuel.”
Bevirt: Joby Aviation can build about one aircraft per month
“Today we have capacity to build about one a month and we're ramping that as quick as possible.”
Bevirt: Joby is doubling its Marina manufacturing footprint this month
“We've got doubling our footprint and manufacturing footprint in Marina, California, that plant plants coming online this month.”

Joby is certifying its eVTOL aircraft with 300 Wh/kg battery cells
“The batteries that we're certifying our aircraft with are have a specific energy of about 300 watt hours per kilogram.”
Bevirt: eVTOL battery specific energy almost doubled in 15 years
“When I started the company in, in 2009, we had cells that had sufficient specific power to do a vertical takeoff, but also we're at about a 170 watt hours a kilogram. So we've almost doubled the specific energy in the cells over the last 15 years.”
