They could use interchangable batteries like a fork lift.

The biggest obstacle to that would be the FAA. I’m sure they could write a 1000 page book of regulations for it. The article I read in “Flying” magazine said they were going to put the batteries in the wing, the space currently filled with fuel.

“Would you get in a glider?”

Umm.. no. Plus, that doesn’t look like a glider. It looks like a brick with a propeller.

All the single engine prop planes look like that. Funny how we/I have got all that confidence in four banger Lycoming with lots of parts to fail and none in this cute puppy. LOL
