I think we'll see smaller capacity VTOL aircraft for shorter flights before we get batteries with enough energy density for long-range flights. You'd just need to have a fast charging rate or potentially swappable batteries at landing pads. Daisy-chaining VTOL trips carrying 10-20 passengers ~100 miles at a time could be faster and more flexible. Uber has done some research on this too: https://www.uber.com/info/elevate/ https://www.uber.com/info/elevate/
