No one has been injured, but the crash of Alpha Electro G2 does represent a rough start for Norway’s plan to electrify the air travel within two decades.

According to Reuters, Environment Minister Ola Elvestuen had been aboard the Alpha Electro G2 on a triumphant flight earlier that day. There is no word as to whether the accident took place because of internal flaws that exist in a battery-powered system or was some other problem in the plane. The pilot said, ‘I made a mayday call and looked for a place to land. This is not perfect for the work we do.’
