Like the auto industry, it seems the big push for electrification is finally coming to general aviation. I'm quite convinced electric aircraft will revitalize GA, due to the considerably cheaper operating costs and simplicity. Big ticket items like prop-overhauls, avionics, and battery replacements will still exist, but I'm pretty hopeful new battery tech will significantly drive costs down. Toyota, for example, has been making great headway on a solid state battery using nickel-metal hydride, to drive costs down from the more expensive Li-Ion packs.
