Road ellectric cars will be a reality.
Truck are probably quite more difficult to electric approach, since would require very large powerfull electric motor and a lot of batteries. Solar panel area of a truck would be of little help to recover energy, but would help to keep a ice cream load frozen.

But if the new battery could really get 10x the density of a ion lithium battery, and with dozen thousands cycles charges capacity...

Planes could get more versions, with electric propellers. Even 10x of actual lithium are not equal to querosene/gasoline energy density (indeed fossil fuel plus oxigen), but since combustion engine are nearly 4x less efficient than prime electric motors...

But jet planes... I can't even imagine how electric power would make any similar thing to that possible. Maybe one day some scientist creates a jet hydrogen (from renewed sources) engine for planes, but hydrogen storage would be a huge problem.
