I'm not so down on this innovator as I am on your crass attitude in playing gotcha. You never acknowledged that POH data is not inclusive of FAA restrictions on flights, nor should it be. You seem to think you have made some point. Good for you.
I think that this battery powered plane will cost a lot more than Harbor Air thinks once VFR flyable days in battery friendly temperatures is factored in. Like a tesla driver, someone will feel good, and thats whats important. But I am not a nuclear power plant operator so what do I know. I've only been aviating since 79'.

The point is the company did not declare the max range. It declared commercial operations of 100 miles range.
“Yep, and your map shows flights out to 300 miles which MagniX says they wont be at until 2030 “
Harbor Air says their longest route is 168 miles (Seattle to Vancouver) and they expect to make that in 2022.

The Caravan POH specifically includes 45 minutes fuel reserve in the range table.
