Norway commissioned this electric ferry. And now the results are in. 80% less maintenance than a diesel ferry of equal size. And Seimens has orders for 55 of them.

World's First All-Electric Battery-Powered Ferry | CleanTechnica

Siemens cites differences in the building process from many electric vehicles, saying the emission-free ferry was formed from the ground up. The ferry is 80 meters long and 20 meters wide. With a svelte catamaran hull, quite lightweight and made of aluminum, the vessel features an all-electric powertrain, with two electric motors with 450 kilowatts of output each. Steel is ordinarily used in shipbuilding. Thus, the ferry is just half as heavy as a conventional ferry — even with its 10-ton batteries and a capacity for 360 passengers and 120 vehicles. Doubling the lifetime of the hull, the aluminum hull also leaves behind the maintenance required of a steel hull.



Siemens shares that the lovely Ampere is designed and built by Fjellstrand shipyard. Siemens provides the battery technology to this shipyard, which is set appropriately on the southwest coast of Norway. Norled owned the Ampere and named the design of the ferry for its holding capacity of 120. However, “ZeroCast 120″ design is most definitely named for its 100% emissions-free operations.

Well EV's aren't making a dent in auto sales........maybe they'll fare better in shipbuilding.

Virtually every car manufacturer is tooling up for several models of EV's in their product line. EV's will be the majority of cars sold by 2030. And the market in trucks will also be EV. By that time, the batteries will have 3 to 5 times the energy density of todays batteries.

So, what is so funny? Or have you simply lost whatever you have left of your mind?

The ferry saves money for the people running the ferry in two ways. It is far cheaper to operate than a diesel ferry, and had 80% savings in maintenance compared to a diesel ferry. And Siemens has orders for 55 more of these ferrys. Now I do suppose that Siemens is grinning all the way to the bank.

This is great for saving on fuel. There is still the challenge of how to make these batteries environmentally friendly. the potential waste produced by the batteries, as required with clean energy, still has to be addressed and resolved. Otherwise we fill dump sites with them, which poison the environment as well.

I wonder how many people will be electrocuted if rough seas swamp the vessel? Just like a Tesla, when driving all electric , there are risks involved.

The batteries contain a lot of very valuable metals. In concentrations that far exceed any natural ore. You really think that they are not going to recycle that when it is available in ten ton lots?

In Norway, 98 percent of the electricity production come from renewable energy sources. Hydropower is the source of most of the production.

Hydropower has been the basis for Norwegian industry and the development of a welfare society since we started utilizing the energy in rivers and waterfalls to produce energy in the late 1800s. Since then, the Norwegian hydropower has become an increasingly important part of the Norwegian society. The usage of electricity has increased in line with the modernisation and economic growth in Norway.
Renewable energy production in Norway

The small country of Denmark (pop. 5.6 million) is making a big commitment to renewables. In the early 1970s imported oil supplied 92 percent of Denmark’s energy. Today Denmark’s electric grid is over 40 percent renewably powered, and the country is aiming to reach 100 percent renewable electricity by 2035 and 100 percent renewable energy in all sectors by 2050. Denmark also plans to reduce its domestic greenhouse gas emissions by 40 percent by 2020 relative to 1990 levels–without the use of carbon credits—ten years ahead of the proposed EU target.

Since those ferries operate mostly within Norway and to Denmark, there you have it. Most of their energy comes from renewables. And 40% of Denmarks energy comes from windmills.

I manage buildings, and in my area, the grid is still 1955 and no additional electrical generating sources are going up. But the gentrification of old row houses into multi floor mega apartment buildings are happening all over the city. During the hot days, with people charging cars, cell phones, computers, and running A/C's without new electrical generation, the rolling blackouts are going to impact, not only this city, but will move all over the US as the grids have all been tied together. You are a stupid woman, who thinks all the energy is right there in that little plug and all you have to do is plug in and all is good. When you don't have the power, you will bitch that it is the power companies fault, but it is the liberals who prevent reliable energy from NG and Coal that can keep up with the demand...

Now you are truly a dumb ass. As a working millwright, I deal daily with far more dangerous energies than these cars will ever have. As does every maintenance person where I work. We have not had a loss time accident in over 15 years. That is a record for a steel mill maintenance department. Such dangers exist in any technical environment.
