My buddy flies for Harbor Air and I had the chance to talk to him about he EV planes. He believe that the concept is a good one and is excited about the prospect of flying an e-plane. But Harbor is all in on this. They want to be a world leader in ev plane tech which is why they invested heavily in the company that makes the motor conversions.
EV has come a long way and is moving forward almost daily. Maybe Airliners are a long way away from EV, but there are so many more opportunities to use electricity to power us outside of the large applications.
