I kinda doubt it will go that quickly. See how many problems Boeing had with their lithium batteries in the 787. And those were just auxiliary power. This will take a hundred times that many batteries with the scale bringing many engineering challenges. And then the totally different engines.. I think it'll take a long time to have a battery powered airliner built, in mass production and as reliable and safe as current airliners. There's a lot of stuff to be built from scratch without half a century of trial and error to learn from.
I think biofuels might be a better option for aviation until the tech has time to catch up.
