A Maine commuter air service could soon offer flights in electric planes. Cape Air, which offers flights between Augusta and Boston, has signed a letter of intent to purchase at least 75 electric planes from Eviation Air. Eviation Alice, the company’s fully-electric passenger plane, can carry nine passengers and two crew members. The planes can travel at about 300 miles per hour, and have a range of about 500 miles before needing to be recharged.
