China just launched the world’s largest pure electric container ship. 128 meters long. 742 container capacity. 19,600 kWh of battery. Zero emissions in operation. Cutting 1,462 tonnes of CO2 annually…the batteries are containerized. Ten standard shipping containers full of batteries. Which means you don’t charge the ship. You swap the containers. Recharging speed equals the time it takes a crane to move ten boxes. (ref: https://www.linkedin.com/in/skandergarroum/)
