When I go touring in my electric plane and decide to fly to the south of France I will want to drop into an airport where like now with Avgas I can fill and be on my way quickly.

Will these battery charge places be everywhere like with Avgas? Fly out of Europe and even Avgas is hard to get hold of Jet A1 being readily available everywhere.

This is the big old problem? Demand and supply.

If there are a stream of aircraft flowing through an airport it might make financial sense to offer such a service.

If its one in a blue moon NO

I hope in 2050 there will be such a volume of these aircraft that demand determines the supply but I doubt it

Once in a blue moon more likely ?
