Zusammenfassung:	Example aspects of the present disclosure relate to battery-based flight planning for electric vehicles. The example method includes accessing a performance reserve requirement associated with aerial operations within an airspace and battery conditions for one or more batteries onboard an electric aircraft. The method includes computing a reserve state of charge for the electric aircraft to complete a future flight within the airspace based on the performance reserve requirements and the battery conditions. The method includes computing one or more battery charging parameters for the electric aircraft to complete the future flight based on the reserve state of charge. The method includes confirming an electric aircraft's ability to perform the future flight, adjusting a preflight activity, or adjusting the future flight based on the battery charging parameters.
