Reply to comment by BobbyP27 in Swedish start-up is building an electric airliner. Will this be the future of Airlines? by Max_1990

Actually, you can expect range to more closely approximate logarithmic growth with respect to battery mass. Basic physics.

Depends if you are assuming the same aircraft with the same total eight, and replacing payload with battery, then the battery would scale linearly. If you are assuming a fixed payload capacity and a longer range, then the near logarithmic growth applies.
