Now that we have electric semi-trucks propping up all over, which is the next area for clean transport to expand into?

The battery density needed to make electric flight possible is ~400wh/KG, which we are well past. There's no technological limitations blocking transatlantic flight.

Also, the question wasn't if we were close, it was if it's easier in ships or planes.
