I took an electric ferry on a visit to Norway. I didn't know it was electric until we started moving, dead silent--I had been fully prepared for the smell and sound of a massive diesel motor.

Looking back at the dock I saw the big mother cable that was used for charging the thing. Absolutely bonkers. And that was small potatoes compared to this one.

That would make a one huge ”zap” for sure!

Oh, yeah, sure they get to plug in a goddamn boat no questions asked, and yet my phone says I shouldn't connect it's charger if it's wet. Once again, it's one rule for the elites and another rule for the rest of us. The hypocrisy is sickening.

/s, ovbs

They charge watt is appropriate.

I don't think you get to choose the boat. I is part of a ferry system in South America, and varies depending on origin and destination. They don't charge more for the electric boat, it is just now part of their fleet

BC ferries could use a few. And the ferry over on Bell Island wayyyy on the other side of Canada needs to be replaced.

Aside. Whoever got the contract to "fix" the consistent issues with ferry plan for Bell island did an atrocious job. More holes in it than the Exxon Valdez.
