I absolutely love these non car electric videos. You spoke to the perfect person Robert in the chief engineer... What a star he is. Shipping is the next big carbon/pollution challenge. The world's shipping fleet turns out more CO2 than Germany per year. It's a big deal if more companies realise that this can be achieved - if only at short distances to start with. But that still would be huge for the local communities - imagine if all the Calmac ferries between the islands on Scotland were electrified. Isle of Wight ferry...

I'm concerned by the battery capability for ships traveling long distances. He says that they charge at both ends of the trip and this is a distance of only 4km. Could the ship actually hold enough batteries to make a trip of, say, 1000km? It's a great idea, for sure.

You normally say that a diesel engine has a maximum if 30% efficiency while tesla motors i know have an efficiency of 97%. You have to consider losses while charging and the extra battery weight, but I would think electric propulsion would be at least 50% more efficient.

From the garage/cargo hold to the cabins to the open deck on top. There is no way to escape it.

Great video, really shows what can be done with some applied thinking, would be nice to know second life plans for the batteries, I would think they could get more than 5 years out of them in this application? also would have been nice to know where and what sources they get their electricity from? they have a lot of wind power so one would assume its clean but it would be nice to know. Local air pollution at ports is a big issue, anyone living near one will know how bad it can be, this is wonderful, we just have to hope that all vehicles make the transition sooner though, time is running out.

Brian, perhaps LNG from bio-methane in the future.

Didn't think I'd find a ferry interesting. Ending music perfectly edited! 😍😍

I feel like I’m watching a movie, excellent production quality! Great job guys, continue these non-cars electric videos! Very interesting, thank you!

The boats at Niagra Falls doing the same soon too

Yes... that is going to happen soon. Another example of how short-distance boats can be viable when turned electric. Two electric "Maid of the Mist" tour boats will soon be operational.

True, and I support the idea, but the trip is SO short, why carry batteries, when a tethered power source from the Falls themselves could do the job? I don't understand the need for batteries all the time... We should be moving away from them when we can... They aren't very efficient....

A self-charging hybrid ship! Toyota would be proud.

There's not a single USB charging port on the whole damned thing. ;o)

Really interesting but at 3 1/2 crossings of 4km is it more of a pioneer than a viable solution for longer crossings? Or would something like a channel ferry be able to carry more batteries due to larger scale?

I know what you mean, but it’s not just a case of adding batteries til there’s enough power. At some point you impact on cargo space, don’t have enough charge time for a turnaround, etc. I’d be really interested to see what’s being built right now/ plans to scale up to bigger ferries (new and refit) and especially what this looks like for shipping giants where ?Maersk? has committed aiming to net zero emissions by 2050 and if that includes electric container ships?

Pretty sharp cinamatography there, mate! Steady as she goes.

This is so wonderful. Given the frequency of the crossings it’s a big deal. I think I’m gonna cry. Thank you Vikings.

So I am the only one here today then? Wonderful news, I will have to take a ride on the ferry soon.

Finally, a non-vapor, real life operating product coverage by fully charged.

I think there's probably quite a lot going on round the world that Robert and his friends could cover, but travel's expensive, and it's not as if there's a £1,000,000 TV budget behind Fully Charged. I think they do amazingly good work with what they've got, and they're always quick to bring us the news, even if they can't travel the globe to film it in person. Sorry, I made a stupid mistake there: I said globe. GLOBE? Am I NUTS? Everybody on KZread knows the world is flat...

This was recorded on the Model 3 test drive trip, Eric. I'm sure you must have heard of the Tesla Model 3 before, haven't you?

Superb video - Well done FCS Team! It's videos like this that show what can be done if and when there's the will to take on challenges and change the World! Thank you for an awesome video.

I love the intro music! Absolutely beautiful.
