Stumbled over this event on a Sunday stroll through Copenhagen.
Electric only of course. β‘οΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ
Feels like Denmark has more of those events than all of Germany. Even for the German brands. Kinda crazy.
"Baltic Whale features a hybrid diesel/battery-electric propulsion system w/onboardπ~ 10 MWh, making it largest battery installed on a RoPax ferry
In pure electric mode, cruises at 10 knots & complete its route in 1h
Diesel-assisted, achieves 16 knots, enabling 45m crossing"
We all just got reminded that renewables are not just about saving emissions.
They also remove the dependency on fossil imports through local decentralized production.
In other words: Freedom.
@SwedenSofter You are right!
And stopping the Earthβs rotation is both challenging and not that good of an idea. π
But the battery tech part is looking good! π
Not sure there's a single chart that better summarizes the relentless improvement of batteries.
Costs down over 90%, energy density up ~5X. In just over 20 years.
Innovation is incredible.
