"German start-up carrier Evia Aero believes it is launching into the market with a fleet of zero-emission aircraft at the optimum time, as it looks towards the start of operations in 2026." In the background is a picture of Alice. It sounds like Evia Aero is to operate Eviation's Alice ... but that could be "hype and suspicion". I don't see an electric powered plane certified by '26, even a retro-fit (like a King Air). But maybe it's "optionally electric" or hybrid or ...

"Mexican start up Aerus intends to acquire 30 Eviation Alice electric aircraft"
compare with 30th Sept post ...
"In an interview in Moses Lake on the eve of first flight, Eviation CEO Greg Davis conceded that the prototype that took off Tuesday is not the design the company will build later.
He said Eviation needs still-to-be-developed advances in battery technology to make its planes commercially viable.
'Are the batteries on the prototype aircraft capable of propelling the certification aircraft, capable of providing sufficient energy? The answer is no, absolutely not,' Davis said."
"In an interview in February, Davis had spoken of pushing hard to certify a production model of the airplane for passenger service in 2024. On Monday, he said that goal is probably five years away."

Kerosene would never be approved today...never mind AVGAS.
Battery technology has the "just over the horizon" problem.
But companies like True Blue Power have the advanced battery tech. Understanding that battery, it's first & foremost a state machine. If and when suitable battery tech is available they'll be able to protect it.
