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

The ship runs on LNG, which is probably cleaner than charging the cars in China and using that for energy, given China's grid mix. | ||

It seems to already use some batteries, but not sure for what: “the new ship includes BYD box-type battery packs and shaft-belt generators for the first time” | ||

I estimate that all those batteries would get that ship at most 20% of the way across the Pacific. | ||
