Norway’s first-ever electric airplane Alpha Electro G2 has crashed into a lake. The accident happened in Arendal, Southern Norway. Reports say that the plane lost its engine power. So, the pilot had to crash land.

Alpha Electro G2 crash took place when it was heading back to the airport. As of now, the reason for the crash is unclear. There is no report of any casualty resulting from this accident.

State airport operator Avinor owns this electric airplane. It is a two-seater plane with a range of 81 miles. It offers one hour of total flight time. This plane was unveiled back in 2018. The Alpha Electro G2 is manufactured by Pipistrel.

Norway is an avid promoter of sustainable vehicles. The roadways and railways are not efficient enough for travel purposes. So, people prefer to travel by using short flights. The country majorly invests in the hydropower. The sourcing comes from the abundant revenue they incur from the petroleum industry. So, naturally, they have a great scope to experiment on electric vehicles.

The land of the midnight sun is planning a complete shift into electric transportation by 2040. Let’s hope that the Electro G2 crash will not affect its plans for sustainable vehicles.
