This is good news, it unlocks significant potential in energy storage, greener transportation and much more.
If they can manage to have an electric private jet that could cut emissions immensely.
The issue with batteries for air travel is more about weight. That will require different technology, eg lithium air batteries. This technology is in development but it'll be a fair few years until they get commercially manufactured.
@TWeaK, meanwhile the best alternative are airships, no problems using them with electric engines and solar panels.
I suspect temperature will also be important. Temperatures are very low in high altitude and that affects battery life.
