With that range and passenger load, this aircraft would be relegated to regional commuter usage.

And the number one way for a commuter airline to make money is to make multiple trips daily between a hub airport and a regional airport.

This think would make one trip, then be on the ground for multiple hours to recharge. No profit.

Ditto. Planes don't make money sitting on the ground. If we give the vaporware plane the benefit of the doubt that it would be able to recharge in 45 minutes, the range isn't all that useful. Regional jets are capable of flying a couple thousand miles plus. They may start the morning in central Illinois, fly all over the country and park for the night back in central Illinois.
