Air Canada is buying new electric airplanes!!!

Sadly their all electric range is only 200 kms or 120 miles. Here in Alberta the distance between the airports of the two major cities is 245 kms 147 miles. So unless they move the airports or use ICE onboard generators those airplanes will not see service in Alberta. But the bigger question is who would fly a distance of 200 kms? When you consider you have to get to the airport and clear security and go through all the hassles of boarding and unboarding then collecting your luggage if you have any and finding ground transportation to your ultimate destination.... Not only is it quicker and cheaper to drive but when you get there you have your own vehicle. If the government of Canada was not a major shareholder in Air Canada Air Canada would not be buying these airplanes.
