Looking at the article, at full power it would use 300kWh from a 130kWh battery, so roughly 26 minutes? I think they have a long way to go....

I did say it was a prototype. No one expected trans-oceanic range, reclining seats, inflight meal service or lost luggage from the prototypes of Orville and Wilbur Wright. (The fancy stuff came much later).
Did you know St Albert is purchasing electric transit buses? The consultant's report concludes that the cost/ benefit is already a viable consideration with existing battery technology.
