Ten thousand EV batteries packed into a ship’s hull. What could go wrong? | ||||||||||||||||||||

I actually assumed that was part of the impetus for creating their own ship – standard cargo ships probably aren't well-suited to the job and simultaneously are a bit concerned about transporting such cargo. | ||||||||||||||||||||

It would be cool to pull charge off the batteries to power the ship. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Realistically, what is the concern for EV batteries? They already make up a pretty substantial amount of market chair in the US, and yet I don’t hear stories about EV’s being more dangerous or more prone to fires or anything. The only time you ever really see an EV burning is one that was in an accident, and guess what, gas cars also blow up when they’re in an accident sometimes | ||||||||||||||||||||

In terms of fire risk, ten thousand gasoline cars are worse. And they have to be fueled because the cars are driven in and out of the carrier. EV fires are harder to put out, but in every other way this isn't different from any other car carrier | ||||||||||||||||||||

You could say the same thing about a refined fuel tanker. |
