Indeed, I am not the only one saying battery powered electric planes will not make it. Jet fuel is way denser.
That is why I am advocating synfuel: the non-fossil synthetic variant of jet fuel. Technically it is possible, but it requires mass production and much stricter laws regarding global warning by CO2 to make it feasible.
