Maglev could become more common and more effective, but a “no-limit” battery comes to mind (no resistance=infinite charge) which could make each city or nation own an endless reservoir of energy. Goes well with renewables.
Those are just 2 ideas. I’m sure there will be a lot more.
EDIT: ignore the “no limit” battery, that’s a mistake. I mixed resistance with charge and made a stupid and wrong statement.

How does no resistance lead to infinite charge? I can see it having approximately infinite conductivity sure, but charge? how?
Sorry, i confused the lack of energy loss from resistance to “charge”, so I’m wrong.
It might be more relevant for semi conductors in order to save energy. Maybe railguns.
Battery chemist here. That guy has no idea what he’s talking about.
Yeah I mixed up resistance with charge, superconductors are probably meaningless for batteries.
I see your edit but in case you’re interested - a capacitor is technically a 0 resistance battery for DC.
that’s… not how this works
