Will we even see commercial electric planes in our lifetime?

From what I know, what’s stopping it from becoming commercialized(?) is limitation of current generation battery. TBH I’m not an expert on this subject.

    There are electric planes for sale right now, even though they’re limited in take off weight and range. There are a number of companies working on more powerful models and some are nearing commercialisation. The sector is still in its infancy but as batteries get better, there is a lot of potential.
