An EVA-XC ..................... there was an article on electric aircraft in some magazine on battery technology a while back

"At only around 150 miles (240 kilometers), the maximum range of Ava is limited. However, around the time of his cross-country flight, Clark also intends to unveil a production eVTOL model, which he said will be different in appearance and capable of flying much farther — up to 290 miles (465 kilometers).

Flying these aircraft will require different approaches to performance and flight planning. In a conventional helicopter or airplane, performance increases over the course of a flight as fuel is burned off, decreasing the aircraft’s weight. In an eVTOL aircraft, however, the weight remains constant during flight and power capacity degrades as the batteries approach a low state of charge."

he uses a bus to drive along behind it to charge it when it lands..............
