Battery

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Battery low energy density. Need big battery. Big battery very heavy. Very heavy make boat no float and need more power to move. More power to move mean need bigger battery. Big battery very heavy…

Works with gasoline/diesel/whatnot which we're running out of too.
