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.

Sails boats definitely

Intuitively, would that be a result of their primary source of propulsion being independent of fuel source? You'd need electricity for amenities and instruments, and probably a backup motor in case the wind doesn't play along, but I genuinely have no knowledge of how much you'd need for that.
