My bad, I was Looking at the 40/50 figure and thinking KM's in my head.
My point about charging still stands though, a 2MWH battery would take a lot of time. I assume the equipment for the charger would need to be huge.
Also the other thing is that batteries don't last as long when constantly charged rapidly and they degrade more quickly. All in all there are interesting issues and I'm sure they will be worked out in the future.
I wonder if a natural gas powered ship would be better for now?
