this argument is like the one for valve sound systems vs digital

developing it.

Apples and oranges.

this is the start of a technology. if these guys can develop a weight
competitive system that delivers just 100hp continuously for days at a
time then they will have a huge market.
potentially the entire world's private aviation market.
of course they'll probably ignore that and just go for the commercial
market.

Except they can't as battery technology is an order of magnitude short
on energy density to be able to do it.

There is no battery technology in the foreseeable future that would
allow one to build an electric airplane with the performance of a
152, much less a 172.

That won't change until a new battery is invented.
