Not disagreeing. In my view the reliability / noise (ground issue) / pollution etc make an electric sustainer absolutely fantastic. Sailplanes can slow way down

Not disagreeing. In my view the reliability / noise (ground issue) / pollution etc make an electric sustainer absolutely fantastic. Sailplanes can slow way down as well, so yes, if they crash its a problem, but these are not GENERALLY stall/spin into ground at high speed. Stall speeds can be down in 40kt range or lower.
I don't follow this area closely though so have NO IDEA of US regulatory rules here. But the electric use cases in this general category seem somewhat clear?
