Yep
It’s mildly related to the difficulty of electrifying planes of any significant size
A fuel-filled tank gets lighter as the fuel is burned during the flight, which is precisely what you want — ie as fuel depletes, you need marginally less and less of it because the plane is lighter and lighter
But a battery is the same weight whether it’s charged or dead
