Reserve requirements could severely limit the true range of electric planes. A plane needs extra capacity to circle the airport for 30 minutes in case it can’t land right away, and it must also be able to reach an alternative airport 100 km (60 miles) away in an emergency.
When you take all that into account, the usable range of a 19-seat plane goes from about 160 miles to about 30 miles. For a larger aircraft like the 100-seat planes that Wright is building, it’s less than six miles.
This Is What’s Keeping Electric Planes From Taking Off

A comparison between Sweden and the United States is particularly revealing. With a higher per capita income and a much more challenging climate, Swedes have the means and motivation to drive more. And yet, 49 percent of all trips are made by walking or biking versus just 11 percent in the United States; also, transit share is 11 percent compared to only 3 percent in the United States.' In Sweden, urbanism trumps both income and climate.
