Well, they do, by E ÷ c2.
Measure it. You'll see.
Terry grabs his high-speed cane and hobbles away at a great rate.
Tis true.
Article doesn't say but assume they've got a 20kWh battery capacity just for a round number. Similar to what an electric car might have.
Multiply by 1000 then 3600 to get the joules. So 72 million joules.
72 million joules divided by the speed of light squared (in M/s) . Or 72,000,000 / 8.988004e16 = 8.010677342822722e-10kg there's no scale sensitive enough to measure the difference. Dust, fingerprints from picking up the batteries to put them on the scale, and random molecules the battery will shed from it's case, and random outgassing from the electrolyte will swallow the difference by orders of magnitude.
This assumes the energy use/conversion is 100%, but with resistance and heat losses in the plane's electrical distribution system and the motor, one can assume it's mostly 100% even if it's not going into propelling the plane.
