the same may apply to Eviation...
Or not, as the case may be.
My understanding is that the Alice doesn't have a single, consolidated battery pack but rather that the storage capacity is distributed over a large proportion of the airframe.
So a "battery swap" isn't an option with the current architecture.
In fact you could argue that, contrary to the suggestions in previous posts, the batteries should be considered part of the OEW. After all, there is negligible weight difference between flat and charged batteries.
