If the rich want to buy their toys LET THEM. The money then spent in R and D, lets us commoners get stuff more affordable eventually!
but on that, with drone use picking up, this could be a boon for them! let's say Amazon warehouse A and B, or factory A and B need to transfer goods frequently. ONE part, ONE trip, known location, known distance. bla bla. Electric plane, pretty much plug and play once you got the logistics programmed in, load send, unload / reload /send. repeat. Run 5 x then recharge for an hour or two. This absolutely could work well.
Boats?? !!
As someone who does commercial fishing as well,
Id LOVE to see an electric boat, but that's a brutal drive train .vs. capacity there! Water, especially salt water environment, I see as a huge hurdle that will be a plague on that overall. Not to mention, a car /a truck / a motor cycle is one thing.. so is an airplane really, but a boat in rough water can beat the living shit out of you !! That's going to be rough on those batteries physically too! Id be happy to volunteer to test a few of their prototypes out for them.
Who want's to go fishing with me to try this new boat out?
