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.

The density requirement for batteries for a commercialy viable airliner I believe is ~400wh/kg. There’s several technologies being commercialized now that meet that goal: Dense Lithium cells, Lithium Sulphur Iodide and BYD’s solid state battery to name a few.
