Orbital designs show real promise in various applications - powering drones for one.

I still stand by my prediction that the vast bulk of small combustion engines we see about us today since post WWII - the lawn mowers, leaf blowers, scooters in their million, etc will be replaced by electric motors and rechargable batteris.

It's already happening and makes better sense in any application where batteries can be readily replaced.
