Operating costs (fuel and maintenance) of small electric planes will be only 10-20% compared to those of avgas powered single engine piston. And you have virtually no maintance or overhaul costs on the engine(s). So even if the planes will be a little more expensive to buy (maybe 20-50%), they will be very inexpensive to operate. And due to the fact that they are virtually silence, you might be able to fly at hours and places that are closed for SEPs.
