Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

To add to this, we have a lot of very short flights here. Due to terrain, some distances are really long to travel by ground, but barely more than takeoff+landing in a plane.
These routes are perfect for electric aircraft.
Pilot training is also a great use case. No need for endurance if the whole flight is a takeoff and a landing, and it's sooo much cheaper to fly electric.
True, but pilot training will need to change a bit first. Parts of it are fine in an electric aircraft, but a lot of the PPL-A training is specifically for single engine piston aircraft. And I'm unsure it would be a good idea having to get used to two different aircraft during your training.
