Spot on Dan. At least the quick reference at the very end (3rd last para) mentioned that BEV ferries are in operation, but the article seems to waste a lot of time trying to compare various fuels, rather than spending more time on BEV options rolling out.

I wonder if the tumbling cost of batts will have a significant impact on the plans for future vessels like this, harder and harder to ignore.
