@xWood4000@spacey.space @benlockwood@ecoevo.social Diesel is a very high density energy source. I don’t think it’s feasible to simply replace diesel with a battery. The battery would have to be very large with a high amperage and would weigh quite a bit.
I’m sure it can be made to work with enough engineering but to change out all the existing infrastructure would take quite some time.

@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
