Maybe Michael. Probably a lithium ion battery. Those so far have not proven to be good on boats. Tend to have fire issues if not cared for and replacement windows are still short. At least the technology is developing..
I just wonder how the ‘Clean Energy’ theory is going to hold up. Perhaps here in the Pacific NW with all the hydro power generation but in Texas where the best bang for the buck to produce electricity is Natural Gas, the clean energy carbon free foot print gets a bit murky. Then there is the issue of battery manufacturing. I have suspicions about the ‘carbon foot print’ of such process and maybe carbon but Lithium acquisition, refining, transport to manufacturing sights.
But if you discount all that background, you have clean energy performance in comparison to fossil fuel engines.
