I were looking at them battery chainsaws a few months back. Something to leave behind the seat of the ute for those times when yer find a tree across the track. Advise i received from an elec saw owner were to stick with me 2 stroke Sthil for a while longer yet.

Meanwhile, back with pax carrying aircraft. When battery/elec powered aircraft can be built that match fuel powered aircraft in the cost and operational areas I'd say they'd take off. Long way off yet.
