And, finally, over in Vancouver, electric-motor manufacturer MagniX and Vancouver-based airline Harbour Air flew a retrofitted 62-year-old plane.

Why don’t electric planes fly longer distances?

Using a heavy energy source thus means more energy is needed for a flight, which leads to extra mass, and so on and on. For an aircraft, mass is crucial, which is why airlines fastidiously weigh luggage. Electric planes need batteries with enough energy per kilogram of battery, or the mass penalty means they simply can’t fly long distances.

Why retrofit the world’s first all-electric seaplane?

A 15-minute test flight in December 2019 made it the world’s first all-electric commercial plane to fly. It proved that electric could actually take off. The two companies’ goal is now to electrify the rest of Harbour Air’s fleet of more than 40 seaplanes and have it certified by the end of 2021. So, retrofitting seems perfect.
