The prices will come down as more Elec cars are produced and the tech gets better. I'm crossing my fingers for when they are light enough and small enough that we can go for a few hours of flight and have a quick recharge. The age of Elec flight would be so much better, in that it's actually simpler, not much to an elec motor. Not nearly as many moving parts and issues.
