The shipping company DHL is the first customer for Eviation's electric cargo planes
Logistics provider DHL Express is adding electric cargo planes to its fleet, becoming the first customer for Eviation, a Seattle-based electric aviation company. Why it matters: As delivery on demand explodes, shipping and logistics providers like DHL are under pressure to make every mode of their operations more sustainable — aircraft, trucks, last-mile delivery vans, and even their buildings.

The Wright brothers would never have gotten off the ground in an electric plane.
Well, I hope the holding pattern, if required, is not too long.
Would suck if batteries were low but then making sure the plane doesn’t run out of fuel is an issue in other aircraft. Pilots seem to manage the fuel thing most of the time but I do recall being at the races in Gimli Manitoba once…
The infrastructure bill is nothing but a GREEN ENERGY BILL... Not true infrastructure: Only $110 billion of the so-called $1 trillion-plus bipartisan infrastructure package goes toward road, bridges, and other major projects that the American people generally consider “infrastructure,” according to an analysis done by Club for Growth. The remaining $1 trillion are “Green New Deal provisions. Also, DHL is one of the companies that contributes to B L M, which we all know is a Communist propaganda outlet... Part of the Package also puts aviation out of business in preference of TRAINS for transportation. Put that in your pipe and smoke it...
After reading the comments below, except for a few, these folks have not been out of the country much. If we don't get that Infrastructure Bill passed, and the money out there, we will continue to be way back in the line on any transportation development. Example --of the top 25 airports in the world --none are in the US. The US is great in many respects, but we are a decade or more behind most developed countries in power generation --and the trains, planes and automobiles of the future (sounds like a title for a movie or something!) Lol.
