Also, if this new battery is really as good as advertised with little to no drawbacks, then the range issue is solved for EVs as it's similar to how much time it takes to add gas to your car at a station.

As for airplanes we need a different chemistry and there isn't a huge amount of work going in that direction right now, most money is currently focused on EV or stationary storage. Both of which can afford to trade off battery density (both weight and volume) for better longevity and price/kWh. LFP in particular is poorly suited for aircraft.
The chemistry that is probably best for aircraft right now is NMC but even then there are a lot of challenges around weight related to thermal runaway protection and general thermal management of the battery.
So for now electric planes are limited to trainer aircraft which are good for ~20-30mins on a single charge. Enough for a beginner pilot and CFA to go up and do some pattern work and practice some touch and go.
Unfortunately I think we need a 'big battery breakthough' or atleast more money being directed towards solving the problem before electric aircraft are much of at thing, even for experimental class.

How much additional electricity generation is required to replace petrol consumption (asuming electric cars, etc).
Related figures are what tonnages of "final" LFP batteries does that imply, and what tonnages of raw material mined, concentrated, and processed does that imply.
That kind of ballpark gives a feel for scaling out to larger country wide populations (along with variation on personal transport usage by city|country).
