@btschumy@mas.to @benlockwood@ecoevo.social The öresundslinjen ferry was previously diesel and is fully electric (with diesel safety backup). I think it can be scaled down. You are correct that it's an engineering challenge but it's definitely possible

@xWood4000@spacey.space @benlockwood@ecoevo.social Well, ferries are huge compared to most construction equipment. They can carry large batteries in the hold. There is also a significant environmental cost to making large, compact batteries. We may just be trading one cost for another. We’ll have to see how it plays out.
