The X1 aircraft is comparable in size to a small regional airliner and can achieve a maximum takeoff weight exceeding 25,000 pounds with the help of four wing-mounted electric motors. The battery-electric propulsion system delivered more than one megawatt of power during the maiden flight.
Not only “pedantically”, also: strictly. Fuel and maintenance are a significant part of operating an aircraft, and that is what relates to this EV forum.
Perhaps you can find friends on a thread discussing airport and pilot costs instead of EVs. Dismissing the usefulness of electrification on an EV forum makes you look out of line.
