Overview:
Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Electrification can encompass hybrid, like diesel-electric trains. It’s not where I’d like to end up, but it’s a start. I believe many ships are already configured this way, but I may be mistaken.
Reconfiguring long haul ships as Plugin Hybrid Electric Vessels could allow them to operate in electric mode when in populated areas which would reduce the score health risks of their particulate emissions.
In the long term, I think that maritime transportation can be electrified fully, using a combination of modern sailing technology and battery-electric propulsion. However, there’s some areas where this will be quite difficult until battery technology improves.
Planes just don’t have the capacity for the necessary weight at this time.
