New research paper outlining method for making lithium batteries able to be charged "10,000 times" and at higher energy densities, giving a longevity and range comparable to petrol engines.
Probably going to be 5-10 years before being ubiquitous, but definitely a step in the right direction.

A dynamic stability design strategy for lithium metal solid state batteries - Nature
A multi-layered electrolyte, in which a less stable electrolyte is sandwiched between two electrolyte layers that are more stable, can inhibit the growth of lithium dendrites in highly pressurized solid-state lithium metal batteries.

A long-lasting, stable solid-state lithium battery
Researchers have designed a stable, lithium-metal solid state battery that can be charged and discharged at least 10,000 times -- far more cycles than have been previously demonstrated --- at a high current density. The battery technology could increase the lifetime of electric vehicles to that...
