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.

So yeah. They exist, but because batteries currently lack the power density, I don’t know if we’ll ever see them like modern air travel.
Power density is THE problem. FF sucks but it’s hard to beat it for the density.
It is more likely IMHO that you’ll see private aviation be able to use all electric for things like short distances, but use sustainable fuels for long haul flights
