If batteries were really cheap and reliable, solar would be the primary source of energy throughout the world. It would practically be free. In the USA, a person might spend $20-30k for their lifetime supply of all types of energy. Essentially everyone would be energy self-sufficient. That's a huge change.
What would the government do?
Of course they'd tax and heavily regulate it and lie about it.
Look what they've done with alcohol, tobacco, or various drugs. Those things are essentially "free", but they're heavily taxed and regulated to favor certain producers.
The government is generally incompetent and super corrupt through and through, but people think it's "essential". Hopefully humanity can find a better path forward soon.
