That kind of plane could very much fly trans Atlantic with stop overs in Iceland or Greenland or further south from Kap Verde or Guinea to Brazil.

It’s more nuanced than that. Current battery energy density (250-300 Wh/kg) is ~15x less than jet fuel (~12,000 Wh/kg), making transcontinental flights impossible today. But shorter regional flights (200-400km) are becoming viable with existing tech, and several companies are already testing these.
