Who’s the current market leader on EV private pilot planes?

Cessna I guess.They bought Pipistrel recently. There are a few companies getting closer to production with various planes and drones. But realistically, I think volume sales is still a few years out.

Companies like Amprius scaling their high end battery production (like they announced recently) is interesting though.

Cessna didn’t buy Pipistrel, Textron did. Maybe that’s being pedantic, but Cessna has zero development going on in the electric plane space, and Pipistrel still runs almost completely independent of the other brands in Textron’s portfolio.

No idea who the technology leader might be, but I hear about Joby most frequently.
