minus-squarebassad@jlai.lulinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 months ago$0.12/kWh is pretty cheap tbh. I was making the maths with $0,40/kWh which is expensive but can be seen is some countries, and that gives around 20kWh/100km. It is impressive that a plane does not consume more power than a car (based on false maths ofc)
minus-squarechonkyninja@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoYeah now add more batteries to double the flight range. 8lbs per gallon is 16lbs, versus like 2,400lbs of battery. The inefficiency goes through the roof.
