New batteries are being tested in China. They are effectively 2x less dense than jet fuel when accounted for turbine losses which started to make them very feasible for 50-100 passenger planes. The weight savings on jets were always to save fuel. When fuel is almost free it doesn't matter that much anymore. All weight savings go towards range.
