Range has been solved for normal people for years now. Charging infrastructure... less so but getting good in some countries. As for airplanes we need a different chemistry and there isn't a huge amount of work going in that direction right now, most money is currently focused on EV or stationary storage. Both of which can afford to trade off battery density (both weight and volume) for better longevity and price/kWh. LFP in particular is poorly suited for aircraft. The chemistry that is probably best for aircraft right now is NMC but even then there are a lot of challenges around weight related to thermal runaway protection and general thermal management of the battery. So for now electric planes are limited to trainer aircraft which are good for ~20-30mins on a single charge. Enough for a beginner pilot and CFA to go up and do some pattern work and practice some touch and go. Unfortunately I think we need a 'big battery breakthough' or atleast more money being directed towards solving the problem before electric aircraft are much of at thing, even for experimental class.
