It took two electric trucks to cover a distance of 250 miles.

Oktay will perform a flyover of the electric plane, a, at the Lafayette-Lehigh football game, where he also studies, on November 19. To do this, the electric aircraft needs to go from Hartford, Connecticut, to Easton, Pennsylvania. But there is no charging infrastructure at any of the airports in the 150 miles as the crow flies the distance between them.Therefore the EV plane will need to be recharged three times. There is a 21 kWh battery pack included with the Pipistrel Alpha Electro.

Remy claims that as a "safety precaution," he used the Ford Lightning's total 7.2 kW power in the bed to charge it completely. The variant would only need to recharge once if that. The entire trip mileage is about 250 miles .In order to assist with the first electric plane flyover at the Lafayette-Lehigh football game on November 19 and to record the occasion, Oktay is now assembling a team of Ford F-150 Lightning owners.

But because of the enthusiasm surrounding the concept of a truck charging an airplane, they were forced to add two more stops "for predictability," cutting the distance between the legs to 30 nautical miles .
