TAURUS:
Taurus Electro was the world’s first fully electric 2-seat airplane in serial production available on the market, already in 2007
Based on the Taurus M, the Taurus Electro G2.5 replaces the gasoline powered engine with the high- performance electric powertrain, where battery capacity is not a limiting factor in performance/endurance. Taurus Electro G2.5 represents a leap forward in performance, safety, functionality and user friendliness. Since 2018 Taurus Electro 2.5 also offers fast charging and is compatible with Pipistrel’s Skycharge range of electrical chargers. Taurus Electro G2.5 offers complete freedom and independence thanks to the retractable electric engine, double retractable main landing gear, excellent gliding performance, inexpensive maintenance and a well-ventilated spacious cockpit.
