Hybrid-electric plane conducts first flight in Hawaii – Honolulu, Hawaii
For the first time, a hybrid electric plane flew over Maui along an actual air route. Ampaire Inc, a Los Angeles-based company focused on electrical aviation made its first 20-minute demonstration flight on a single, hybrid electric plane, Electric EEL, from Kahului Airport on Maui to Hana on November 22nd.

It may be true for Hawaii, but the World's First actual flight for a totally Electrically-Powered Airplane was done ezactly one year ago today, by Canada's Harbour Air in Richmond, BC. Also unassisted by any auxiliary engine powered by aviation fuel to make it all actually achievable. GO CANADA!!! (Check it out on Google folks)
yes we are ahead !!!!
As a fellow Canadian I know about that first all electric flight. In this instance it was a hybrid aircraft, but the major point is that it was a flight between two actual airports following an actual air route.
Excuse my misunderstanding... as I could have believed the conversational content emphasis of actually reducing the ongoing operating expense and pollution of Fossil Fuel usage.
A video of the flight can be found here:

As of a few moments ago, the video has had only 25 views since December 8th. That seems incredibly low.
That’s strange indeed. I know there are other videos available, I got my first look via a shorter version with French text from a Montréal newspaper. I then tried to find an English version, that’s the one I posted.
