This was over a month ago, but I still think it’s fitting as an electric vehicle. Reminder that it’s possible to power cargo ships using batteries and electric motors.

    Great, its Christmas morning, you excitedly unwrap you present. It’s a new container ship! Then you read the dreaded phrase on the box: “Batteries not included. Requures 10 container batteries”. You rummage around in the odds-and-ends draw in the kitchen (we’ve all got one), but you can only find 9. Christmas is ruined.

    ETA: This is actually a very cool design. Being able to swap the batteries with normal cargo handling facilities will be a huge boon and keep these ships moving.
