Invariably bespoke battery-packs are required for these eVTOL vehicles, which ups the cost considerably when it comes to one-offs like prototypes. The eng has therefore suggested we adapt packs that have been sourced from scrapped Mitsubishi Outlander hybrids.
This is an inspired solution for preliminary testing, because those vehicles that are scrapped have generally not been so for reasons connected to their perfectly serviceable battery-packs, but because they've collided with a tree or another car.
In a way then, we're making hogs fly.
