Other threads are discussing whether the specific numbers here pencil out, but to step back a second and take a high-level snapshot: the trend here is that batteries are becoming cheap enough to consider bulk transport of electricity. Yes, there's questions about weight and power density and all that, but slap your classic techno-exponential curve on all that and ask yourself what becomes interesting after 10 years of riding the experience curve? There's already companies looking at filling a shipping container with batteries and using them for temporary events like construction sites, concerts, or disaster relief. This ship idea takes it to the extreme: boats have the lowest dollar-per-weight-mile costs, so what use-cases become interesting when the limiting factor becomes techno-decreasing battery costs?
