If this isn't just corporate hype, this could be great for making smaller batteries, hopefully less resource intensive.

We'll do fine with 250-300 mile range if charging infrastructure is improved. Use further battery breakthroughs for reducing weight, not increasing range.

Though the possibility of fully electric airplanes is exciting.

Increased capacity is reduced weight since now you need less battery for came range. Although I doubt these claims. Improvements in technology are usually marginal, not 5x or more.
