Train

[-] racoon@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 weeks ago

You can’t train for lack of fossil fuels. You just suck it up and accept the GDP loss

Battery

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks 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…
