It's easy to say that electric aircraft are not practical. They aren't yet apart from a few niches. BUT do not ignore the power of capitalism, there is a LOT of money to be made by anyone who solves even part of the battery problem. Whatever happens we have to make it work as soon as we can or there is a high likelihood that our toys will be taken away as the climate problem gets more obvious.
I have now had an electric car for 4 years. My first one was an adventure, much planning and hope required on long trips. I now have a Tesla, the best car I have ever owned, smooth quiet power, enough range to get from Dorset to London and back without charging. Costs very little to run due having solar panels on my house, nearly zero maintenance. Flying behind a nasty, dirty, unreliable piston engine seems a step backward.
