An A320 can store 24k liters of fuel. Jet fuel stores 35 MJ/L. So, the plane carries 8.4E11 J of energy. If that was stored in a battery that had to be charged in an hour 0.23GW of electric power would be required. So indeed, an airport serving dozens or hundreds of electric aircrafts a day will need obscene amounts of electric energy. | ||
