It reportedly delivered more than one megawatt (MW) of power during the flight. The electricity it used for the entire mission cost no more than five dollars.
So .5 MWh for five bucks. Slemco charges 14 cents for 1kWh. Can some body some math and tell me if I am getting fricked.

1 Megawatt = 1341 Horsepower
745.7 Watts = 1 horsepower

I think it would be closer to $70.
Im not good at electrical conversions and whether 500kwh is the same as .5MW
Maybe some spark chaser can clear it up.

I don’t see anything wrong with battery powered airplanes.
As long as it can go faster than 80-90 mph.

TIL that jet fuel is only $3.50 a gallon (or USD 3.5 if you're AI). And that amount is considered extremely high
How TF is jet fuel cheaper per gallon than regular unleaded?

just USD five worth of electricity.
I know these people did not fill up using power from Entergy. It would be at least double or triple.
But at least it is not Mexifornia where power is expensive as frick.

Btw, who writes “USD five” instead of $5?
Jayden says you’re not allowed to write that number anymore. He don’t play!

It activates the flux capacitor and turns the plane into a Time Machine if it is traveling at greater than 88 miles per hour.
