This article is idiotic.

$5 cost. 25,000 pounds. BUT OVER WHAT FUCKING DISTANCE?

$5 gets me 23 miles in my Delica. It gets me 100 miles on my motorcycle. It gets me 30 miles in my Porsche 914. But the article says nothing about distance.

The plane has a max range of 125 miles.

More US electrical bullshit to swindle investors.

Thanks. That’s what I figured. To date, I think only ultralight aircraft that would normally just be high altitude vehicles have viably used electricity for long distances.
