MONTREAL — Air Canada has signed a deal to buy 30 electric-hybrid aircraft under development by Swedish company Heart Aerospace. The purchase price of the regional aircraft was not disclosed. Air Canada has also acquired a US$5-million equity stake in Heart Aerospace under the agreement. The ES-30 regional aircraft, which will be capable of carrying 30 passengers, is expected to enter service in 2028. Air Canada says the aircraft will be powered by lithium-ion batteries and equipped with reserve-hybrid generators that can use sustainable aviation fuel. link

Be up in the air when the battery goes dead, and have to depend on the Fossil fuel generator to save ya. No Thanx!

You guys do realize that these are short distance commuter aircraft, right? Not long distance or internation aircraft.

Fear, uncertainty and doubt. Understandably, change is hard. Oh well thank you for clearing that up for all of us. Sadly as usual you are wrong, but hey that's ok. I am 'older' and it has nothing to do with Fear and uncertainty. It has to do with having common sense, I'm not going to be a Guinea pig. Once it's been flying for a year I'd get on it if I had to fly somewhere.

Oh and as for a fear of Electric vehicles? No dear, it's not a fear, it's a hate. I love my gas fueled muscle cars and that beast Yukon Denali we just bought. I love all 3 corvettes we have, our two jeeps, the Z28 and the Monte Carlo SS. I love the sound they make when you start them. I wouldn't be caught dead in a Panzy EV 'muscle car' that needs a recording to sound loud.

Fear, uncertainty and doubt. Understandably, change is hard. The technology is not there yet, the vehicles and batteries are still full of bugs- the gov't is forcing this on the people before it's ready to fit a political agenda. This is like in 1951 when Color TV first came out it was full of bugs, every time you changed the channel you had to re-adjust the color, it was prone to breakdowns and was expensive to fix. After a few decades Color TV worked fine and was dependable. The E-Vehicles are not there yet, the future E-Vehicles will not be anything like the E-Vehicles of today. The expensive rare metals used in the battery are of limited supply- the chemicals used are toxic and much of that battery cannot be recycled the landfills will be forced to take in the toxins. BTW the E-Vehicles are pushed due to "climate change" this year the ocean is boiling hot and no hurricanes- how come? are the computer models wrong? According to the global warming theory the hotter the oceans the more CAT 5 hurricanes you'll get. Then they change the climate change theory to fit the current weather pattern, climate change means less hurricanes.

Today he/we got the posts and stuff up (along with heavy ass rails that go up and down). Tomorrow the ramp and power unit. He wants to get it done before we have to get the boat out. Scary part is we have an 8 car garage and he needs 2 Lifts....
