There's one big problen I see with electric (or battery) powered planes. Batteries weigh the same whether fully charged or depleted. So unlike a turbine or piston powered aircraft (which burns off fuel as it flies), an electric aircrafts maximum take off weight will be limited to it's maximum landing weight.
