Electric Plane. 2 and 4 seaters. 4 hour range
 
This plane is planned for 2 and 4 seater-designs.

The four seater has an 800lb. payload, a four hour range, and a cost 4-5 times less than a conventional 4 seat aircraft.

4 hour is not range, it's endurance.
i want to know what the DISTANCE it is capable (with IFR reserves of course)

Great for training though.

The cost is operating cost, not the price of the airframe. 4 hours endurance means probably 2 hours of flying at cruise power with reserves. Once you fly somewhere and land then what? If they have charging available you are in for a long wait, probably overnight. Not very viable at this point for anything other than local training.
