I did a deep dive into what works and what doesn&#39;t for electrifying ships: - What are the physical limitations? - How far has electrification come? - What clever designs exist already? - Which types of boats can&#39;t be electrified? Now on Nebula: https://nebula.tv/videos/techaltar-electric-ships-are-finally-starting-to-make-sense Coming to YT later.

@Techaltar@mas.to Eine Betrachtung von Güterschiffahrt auf Binnengewässern (so das typische Duisburg-Ruhrort – Rotterdam gependel) und von Hafenschleppern hätte mich noch interessiert. Danke in jedem Fall für das Video!

@Techaltar@mas.to One of my favorite subject, which I have been following myself over years, too. In the past Seattle used 117 mln USD of Dieselgate fines to electrify its fleet ie.

@Techaltar@mas.to nuclear ships seemed like a nice idea. Too bad few countries can make them and even fewer can maintain them

@Techaltar@mas.to To your own selfish reasons, have you considered a sailboat?

@Techaltar@mas.to very interesting, thanks! Candela did a pilot project in Stockholm (running their boats on one of the river tram routes), and apparently it was a major success: https://candela.com/newsroom/stockholms-electric-flying-ferry-successful-on-all-parameters/
