California-based startup Alef Aeronautics claims it’s the world’s first real electric flying car. After completing over 1,000 flights, including hopping over a Tesla Cybertruck, Alef is preparing to begin customer deliveries later this year.
Alef prepares for first electric flying car deliveries in 2026
Alef says its flying car, dubbed the Model A, is “100% electric, road drivable, and has vertical takeoff and landing capabilities.”
In December, the company announced it had begun building the first flying cars to be delivered to customers at its facility in Silicon Valley, California.
The first batch, expected to be delivered by the end of 2026, is being hand-made and will be limited to a few early buyers. According to Alef, they will be “for the purpose of testing flying cars in the real-world environment, under very controlled conditions.”
