I really thought Harbour Air would be first.

Those little electric Pipistrels have been getting more common for instruction and pattern work down here for a bit too. Iโm told theyโre great fun if you just need to do a lot of sub hour flights every day.
Saw this little plane at the Comox Air show a few weeks ago and it was getting a lot of attention.
The Fully Charged Show had a recent video about this same plane in Britain. Lots of details and they take it for a test flight.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I wonder if we can go and watch?
Vancouver to and from the nearby islands seems like an ideal use-case for all-electric aircraft.
