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.

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.
