They quote a 32,000 foot ceiling and there was some talk of a pressurised version some years back. But when you think about it, with no compressor stage to draw bleed air from and no hot bits to heat it, pressurization would be just one more thing that would have to draw power from the battery pack. It would be interesting to see what sort of impact pressurization would have on range.
