This all-electric plane is set to fly sometime in 2020, and the
specifications look absolutely wild. For maximum frontal area
efficiency, the battery pack has to be small and compact, merging 6000
lithium cells with an advanced cooling system to help keep the
batteries stable. With three stacked YASA 750R electric motors, the
plane will have around 500 horsepower available to spin the modern
design propeller.

In order to make this project a reality, the highest tier aerodynamics
engineers from all over the UK were hired, primarily from within Rolls
Royce’s aerospace engineering division, as well as some from within
the motorsport community. This is truly an all-in mission for the
British industrial complex.



If it performs as well as my
electric car it has a real future.


Amazingly, Harley Davidson is getting in on the act....

Short read but interesting with lots of pics

"Struggling motorcycle company Harley-Davidson’s vision for embracing the future
is offering a full line of electric motorcycles by 2022. The first of these
electrified bikes will be the 2019 LiveWire and, like all other Harley
motorcycles, it’s expensive.

"Let’s just get it out of the way first. The bike’s MSRP comes to $29,799. That
is an expensive bike no matter which way you look at it. Do the specs justify
the price? Read on to decide.

"The all-electric LiveWire will apparently hit 60 from a stop in 3.5 seconds.
There is no clutch and no gear shifting, which will definitely make riding an
extremely different experience. And riders will be able to slow down using the
power regeneration mode in addition to the brakes.
