Yup. The range is too short for many applications.
pt
The two that have FAA Airworthiness Certification, Doroni Aerospace and Alef Aeronautics, the range is about 100 miles at around 90 mph. When I was working this would have worked for me. I figure about a 20 minute flight verses an hour on the road. There and back and charge overnight. But these are $300k+.
Kicker is that the Alef actually looks like a car and is road-worthy. Well, car shaped. Doroni is drone-like.
