Electricity has no future in aircraft until the storage issue is sorted.
I agree.

The best anybody can do at present is chip away around the edges, addressing specialist applications. There is no way to make even a practical electric car.

Also there is no apparent way to make a battery which is recharged quickly.

The best brains around are flat out working on this issue and have been for many years.
