A one hp motor (746 watts =1 hp)? Does anyone realize how laughably insignificant that is?

Yup. First thing I noticed. After reading through 88 messages, you are the first person that I have found who also saw it.

Clearly they are not using a 1 hp motor to move this thing. They are also not using a 10 hp motor to move this thing. 75,000 watts, or 100 hp, I believe. They are off by two decimal points. I guess writers don't know anything nowadays and apparently they don't have editors either.

In the caption: Today marked the first flight test of the 750-horsepower magni500 all-electric propulsion system on a Cessna 208B Grand Caravan in Moses Lake, Washington.

Ahh, makes much more sense, now.
