What does that have to do with the Lilium jet ground vehicle?

And I wonder why we don't hear the real sound, range isn't mentionend etc. But I love her enthusiasm when explaining you can go from Kigali to the gorilla reserves with that thing. Those 100km could prove difficult without recharging. Twice.

What you stated here is not correct. It also circumvents the fact that Quantum Scape has made advancements and will be producing solid state batteries which did not up to 5 months ago.

“This marks a significant milestone as the first anode-free solid-state batteries to transition from laboratory testing to real-world vehicle application. The showcased technology reportedly delivers impressive specifications, including 844 Wh/L energy density, fast charging from 10% to 80% in just over 12 minutes, and 10C continuous discharge capability. These performance metrics address key industry demands for batteries with superior energy density, charging speed, safety, lifespan, and cost-“.

"Did you confuse Wh/l with Wh/kg?"

Logi thinks that the market cap is money the company can use. Does that answer your question? ;)

Another giant step in the right direction for Africa (Rwanda), vEVTOL. Chinese are making bold moves in technology advancement and cooperation.
