A Chinese Company Says Its Batteries Are Dense Enough to Power Electric Planes. Sure.

I can believe that.

But, the batteries would have to be recharged every quarter mile down the runway, which would mean recharging at least 4 times, and then, upon takeoff, the plane would come crashing down because of the weight. So, taxiing would take at least 5 hours because of the recharging, and the plane wold be a total loss upon takeoff. But, oh!!!, what a ride!

Those lithium batteries have a reputation to go up in flames occasionally. So better design the plane with asbestos lining.
