An aircraft like this can be used two or three times a day, while spending the rest of the time charging.

A piston or turbine powered aircraft can run all day.

Even Ryanair turnarounds take like 30 minutes. A bit more than that and you can charge the plane comfortably. Fueling bigger planes is quite the ceremony.
