At 60mph top speed, that's about 10 minutes of flight. With the 20 minute advertised flight time, I should easily be able to make it to work on a full charge. I wonder if an 8 hour day is enough to charge it on 110v or if it would need a higher voltage charger.


A better solution would be swappable battery packs.
This is a very cool machine, but it's 20 minute flight time reduces it to being an expensive toy
for most people

One of my neighbors has an electric lawnmower that has swappable battery packs. The brand also makes snow blowers that use the same batteries. Kind of expensive though.
