This episode takes us to Dunkeswell Devon, where we meet Aerovolt to unveil another world first – the world's first and only public electric plane charging network! Imogen took to the skies in the electric Pipistrel, the world's first commercial electric aircraft to test the network and reflect on the incredible advancements in electric propulsion since we first featured the Pipistrel on the channel back in 2022.
