The tidbit about how long it takes for the regular announcements on planes compared to the flight time really puts it in perspective.

The possible promise of electric powered transport aircraft was envisioned by CapeAir a regional carrier serving the New England in the U.S. However CapeAir has suffered many setbacks. A serious concern has been the dwindling number of landing fields with sufficient support and logistical facilities to handle eVTOL aircraft that have suffered power failures.

What would probably make the most sense, given that battery tech seems to have plateaued, is a design that allowed for swapping out those massive batteries reasonably fast. This would address one huge problem: the sheer amount of time it takes to recharge them. I can see a battery of batteries sitting there, all making use of that excess power the wind turbines generate.
