Las Vegas, United States - January 09, 2025 The auto sector is in the spotlight this week at the world's largest personal electronics show -- 2025 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), where vehicles are getting faster, more sustainable, and capable of reaching new heights. At CES, Chinese EV maker Zeekr shows off a car that can go from 0 to 100 km/h in about two seconds. Some of its EV's will also now be equipped with their Golden Battery 2 -- the world's fastest charging battery in mass production. Other companies are taking transformation features to another level. For instance, an electric vertical take-off landing aircraft, or eVTOL, can lift off from wherever the van transports it to. The re-packing doesn't require any skill either as it's completely automated. Tim Lum is the proud owner of an eVTOL made by the company Pivotal, which is showing off its latest model called Helix. Since EV car owners deal with the fear of running out of battery power, Pivotal's product marketing director dispel such anxiety for eVTOL fliers. The 2025 CES, the world's premier tech show, officially kicked off in Las Vegas, the United States on Tuesday. The annual event, running from Tuesday to Friday, has drawn more than 4,500 exhibitors from more than 160 countries and regions, including about 1,400 start-ups, according to the U.S. Consumer Technology Association (CTA), organizer of the event.

That can be at sunrise or sunset, or it can be a run to the grocery store to get some milk and eggs. Or it can be to go to my neighbors who lives one bridge over. And I just saved 30 minutes of driving. And it's just so gorgeous to fly, especially in the morning."; 17. Various of screen showing eVTOL in operation. [Restriction - No access Chinese mainland]
