Now that we have electric semi-trucks propping up all over, which is the next area for clean transport to expand into?
minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down2·2 days agoMaritime. You’ve got open seawater, no way to recharge that you don’t carry with you, and a lot of balancing issues that can’t be messed with. Mind you, navies have done some of the work to get it there. Just not sure what aspects would be available for commercial/civilian use. Aviation is difficult because of weight and balance constraints, but I think you’d still have less trouble on average. But, this is way outside my wheelhouse, so I’m playing guesswork here.
minus-squareobviouspornalt@lemmynsfw.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 days agoYes, but maritime you can sail. Not so much with aviation.
minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·2 days agoThat’s definitely true, but we’re on an electric vehicles community, so I was only thinking along the lines of electric powered options.
