There have been a number of published announcements made over the last couple of years about breakthroughs in battery technology from start-up companies and other well established companies that may surprise you. IBM, as an example, announced they have developed a lithium air battery with a 500 range for electric cars. If interested, the link to the announcement is below.

There has not been a breakthrough in battery range yet. They are making better battery. Perhaps they last longer. But no real benefit as far as range goes.
As far as quiet gas carts, try some sound deadening. It's cheap. It wont be silent but neither are electrics.
