For context, it has a midrange speed for a bush plane but half or less range. But at least fuel won't be bleeding a hole in your pocket if you have any renewable energy (solar, etc) at home. Base quote is 4 mil CNY (540k USD).

Super Cub might be around 150-200k, but fuel is expensive and ICEs need more maintenance... You might break even on cost effectiveness within 2-4 years depending on how expensive your electricity is.

If you can stomach the high upfront cost and range limitations, electric planes are edging closer and closer to a reasonable value proposition.
