The advantage with electricity is that you make the process more environmentally friendly at the source, not at the consumer. Burning gas, oil, coal is always dirty. To make a gas burner or a car more environmentally friendly, you have to replace it. That is expensive and must be done by every homeowner, so it does not happen accordingly. With lifetimes for a car or a heating system of 15-20 years, many of the cars from 2035 are already on the road today and many of the heating systems are already installed. The perspective makes electrification so attractive. Today, electricity in winter largely comes from coal power plants, but in 10 years you can switch it to something else without anyone having to replace their heat pump because of it. Every improvement in the electricity mix automatically affects all consumers. That is the main reason why politics worldwide are focusing on electrification.
PS: "Batterie" is technically a very broad field with very different properties regarding weight, performance, cost and discharge. Accordingly, there will be different storages that interlock. From small home storage to large redox flow and for the winter other things will be considered, e.g. cooperation. The alpine countries get electricity from outside in the summer and only have to generate little power with their water reservoirs. In winter, the water battery can then be used.
