Now thats grasping at straws.

These electrics motors would be for taxi speeds max, not to propel aircraft to take of speed.

And only a total idiot would not notice that an engine or two had not been turned on when they advance the throttles slightly before applpying take off power in order to check engine sync and functionality.

Next excuse for not using this technology...
