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.

It says the batteries are in 10 shipping containers. One TEU containers has an internal volume of 33 cubic metres, so 330 in total.

Even a small two-storey, four-unit apartment building is around 1000 cubic metres in total volume, so the batteries are only about a third of an apartment building at most.
