100% Electric Ferry Crossing | Fully Charged 4k 

I'm concerned by the battery capability for ships traveling long distances. He says that they charge at both ends of the trip and this is a distance of only 4km. Could the ship actually hold enough batteries to make a trip of, say, 1000km? It's a great idea, for sure.

Actually, if it is only 30% more efficient than the normal propulsion system (which is diesel hybrid) I'm not so sure if (with this amount of batteries) there even will be a big difference in co2 output of this ship vs normal Shops

(but I love the concept anyway and i'd love to see more of these ships in the future since today's ships are freaking loud and dirty)

@@Flyfan24 Yes, I the 30% number really surprised me, I wonder how they measure it. You normally say that a diesel engine has a maximum if 30% efficiency while tesla motors i know have an efficiency of 97%. You have to consider losses while charging and the extra battery weight, but I would think electric propulsion would be at least 50% more efficient.

EV road cars are sexy as hell. But when we see logistics firms and transport infrastructure transitioning to electric then it's time to really get excited. These companies/organisations run on a pure profit mentality and put business first. If electric is becoming the smart business choice then the rollout speed will rise exponentially. When electric only had the environmental credentials alone - the business world didn't give a thought to it at all. :)

I can tell you - not only for a student in this area! I'm so exited, happy, looking forward and full of gratitude, that this ferry contradict many prejudices against e-moving at all and for heavy vehicles in special. Maybe it is a way to go, maybe it does not fit everything, but it WORKS! Thank you @fullycharged for making us participate, and thank you Abhigyan for going forward with your studies (hopefully). Carsten

Hope the electricity coming in is green.

@@Martijnk811 Denmark: up to 43.4 percent energy from wind power. 35.8% fossil fuels. some solar energy and the rest are bought from neighboring countries. Sweden: hydropower 40% nuclear power 40% wind 11% The rest comes from thermal power (biofuel & burning garbage) and last but not least solar power.

So you're studying sustainable energy? Never heard of that study topic.

@@peterboil4064 You should be. It's about time

And a amazing boss. Absolutely loved working with him :)

And the note in the beginning after the intro tune!

Anders Hjelmare the media in Skåne has been talking about it a bit. Most people I know here knows about it.

I'm really glad we did this episode now. If you didn't know about this living in Sweden, maybe the ferry company need to up their PR game :-)

@@fullychargedshow You said it!

Dane here, thinking the same!

You’d have a better chance finding an article to read about the benefits of multiculturalism

Give them a hint!

Share it with your community so they can see the potential and maybe they'll eventually demand it.

True but then they'll put the price up even more to claim its to pay for it.

@@TheStevenWhiting But then it would cost £200 a crossing...

Hope P&O ferries are watching this :) we need it on Dover-Calais route

This is actually a great idea!

Using a battery to charge another battery is not that efficient. Only a few slots would be possible on the car deck. They probably decided against it.

You can charge your car on the diesel ferry to Belfast from Cairnryan (Stranraer) so clearly the equipment and knowledge exists for this. Can't wait until all of these simple little clever things are every where!

It's a good idea. That would increase interest for this route for electric car travellers compared to Malmö bridge option. Full battery at destination port. Another possibility would be to have a waiting lane with chargers on port for electric cars.

@@opus_workshop diesel they run ships with is unsuitable for most cars. Especially the new ones. And that's "clean" diesel they use near the coastline, like in harbours. Stuff they run on while in sea, is more viscose than car fuel.

Well on the danish side they charge mostly with coal.. so.. Well its at least not norwegan oil

Rambler Andy Yes though it is to make fun of Toyotas self driving meme.

@@davidlazarus67 Ah, ok then. 👍

David Lazarus *Toyota’s self charging meme?

@@zmc9403 Toyota are running a 'self charging Hybrid' advert that is really just a basic non-plugin mild-hybrid

The engineer clearly said they can operate in 3 different modes: battery, hybrid and diesel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong; but to me, "hybrid" here means running the diesel engine as a generator to feed power back into depleted batteries, while "diesel" means what it always has in shipping--crank those props with ICE power. He also said they don't do that anymore, but I wonder if they can in a pinch.

they also discharge at 6MW peak, 4 x 1.5MW thrusters

So the same rating as any normal locomotive used in regular service in Europe then. Swedish IORE exempt being special with its 10.8MW

@@rosen9425 and the same rating it had before it had batteries, same as any diesel-electric ferry

@@mycosys Thought it would be more, but hey efficiency ftw

They better off using high voltage battery. High current is bad and require thick cable to reduce the energy loss as heat.

AuH2O You’re a brainwashed nut job. You seem to be jealous as well.

Jonte Ded As a Scandinavian, the AuH20 person is 100% correct.

@@AuH2O Did you feel better getting that off your chest? Do you think you made the world a better place uttering those sentences?

@@ichhabe330 Do you feel better knowing it's the truth?

Erik Johansson He’s not correct. I promise you that none of you right wing liars would move to e.g. Poland (white paradise right), even if someone gave you a million bucks.

They will soon enough be back to just managing sand dunes again. It will look good on them

Nah, Saudi officials are moving towards renewables as fast as they can. The US is the biggest proponent of fossil fuels at the moment, and #4 exporter of oil.

@@CorwynGC Sadly this might be true. But anyway as a muslim i pray to Allah that the power of the Saudi regime and their export of wahabism and the SalafIyyah movement worldwide comes to an end Amin. The long lasting US pact with Saudi Arabia and their powerful petrodollars must come to an end to breake the evil trade of blood for oil.

We can’t wait to see them lose power with the advent of renewable energy. Too much money and too much power in the hands of backward fundamental regimes is dangerous.

augsburg Indeed, there are easy parallels to the Staten Island Ferry and the Seattle-Winslow Ferry.

@mPky1 Fortunately, many families today are switching to cargo bikes to ferry young children to school rather than fire up an SUV. Not only do they reduce their carbon footprint, but they also can avoid the horrendous cost burden of a 2nd (or 1st) family vehicle. Check out Cargo Bike Republic on Facebook.

@mPky1 Bikes.....

with some doobies?...

It is. It's an electric milestone and something no doubt we are going to see more and more of.

The "Willy Wonka" sound track was eerily appropriate I think.

@@MattCasters I don't get it. Is it because it's new tech, more advanced or not fossil fueled? Or just your ideology?

@@beesplaining1882 Massive amount less pollution in the air and more economical on the long run. Can you live with that?

Gave me sort of the Jurassic Park vibe, when they arrive at the park in the first movie

Heard Stena Line's Jutlandica is to be converted to be electric. Quite a massive challenge, considering that the ferry sails not for 20 minutes, but for 4 hours between Sweden and Denmark. It has a 1MWh battery already, but it is soon to be converted to 100% electric.

Yeah, not nice to get stuck out in the middle... ;-)

Its a good thing they still have the diesel generators onboard if they need them...

LMAO

That is why they charge in between

"410kWh chargers"?

@@sallerc Jepp, thats right

That doesn't make sense to me, is it 410kW chargers (power), or does the chargers charge 410kWh batteries (capacity)?

@@sallerc Battery banks on both sides yes

410kWh chargers? The fuck does that mean?

how long are the trips?

To my knowledge it was in 2014 that the first battery electric ferry was put in traffic in Norway. Since then has there come lots of other electric ferrries in traffic - all over.

It's coming: www.opb.org/news/article/ferry-puget-sound-washington-electric-power-diesel/

What does it mean to "run the most ferries in the world". I can already say that it is by no means anything of most in any shape of form of car ferries.... well .... except that the so called car ferries in US are the strangest looking and a construction that are like they come from the stone age. So not in number, not in size or capacity or passanger numbers are they close to anything that sets world records.... Anyhow it would be good to make them emmision free.

Who wouldn't!

What about the thumps and vibrations of the ship?

@@ariebakhuizen5486 Yeah i would only take big ferries like that one, so you don't feel much. Otherwise, vomit comet :D

@@ariebakhuizen5486 As someone who has taken the ForSea ferry a lot of times, I can safely say that won't have much problems. The ship doesn't vibrate a single bit! When you take a diesel Catamaran afterwards the difference is incredibly stark!

Great idea!

Actually the polution from Diesel ships takes a big part as well when it comes to climate change.

Well spotted, we did 3 crossings and we were running around like headless chickens. They were really helpful but didn't let us affect the schedule. Dock, charge, unload, load, unplug go. It all happened so fast

He's not the captain, he's an engineer

Yeah. But does it have mcas?

capitan was sleeping at the time of interview after a good breakfast meal...

@@fidelcatsro6948 ...and drunk from rum

you don't know plural

I ride from K town to WI almost every weekend in the summer. Super stoked to see the new 75 car ferry.

I know what you mean, but it’s not just a case of adding batteries til there’s enough power. At some point you impact on cargo space, don’t have enough charge time for a turnaround, etc. I’d be really interested to see what’s being built right now/ plans to scale up to bigger ferries (new and refit) and especially what this looks like for shipping giants where ?Maersk? has committed aiming to net zero emissions by 2050 and if that includes electric container ships?

R Its a busy route as it is more direct than using the Oresund Bridge if headed to Oslo or Stockholm

@@erik_griswold Yeah, I was just impressed by the number of crossings. Must be quite a quick turnaround.

@@user-jt1jv8vl9r The ships never turn. It just change direction. It also never "docks" it just "slams" into the dock with a specially designed entrapment unit. There is hydraulic breaking cylinders taking the ship the last knot down to zero. The have two bridges, and two sets of two propellers. There are two files like a highway in and out of the ships. Because the ship never turn around, you drive forward on and forward out the other end. There is also a auxiliary third ramp to drive on the second level cardeck (i never seen it used after the bridge was opened). Its also possible to walk onto the ship via a ramp. The ramp is over 4 meters wide and have a close to airtight seal while docked. They run 4 ships. 2 battery-electric, 1 "hybrid" (with out charging) and one old school drive. The hybrid and the diesel one run "only" between 7 to 21. The battery-electric run all night. But between 02 and 05:30 with reused rate (hence making 46 routes in steed of 48). They run every quarter between 7 and 21 both directions You can se the dockingfacility in 3D on google map. www.google.se/maps/place/Helsingborg/@56.0422387,12.6905129,165a,35y,39.54t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x46522d7a50a22925:0x4019078290e7a90!8m2!3d56.0464674!4d12.6945121?hl=sv Worth saying those ferries is rather huge. Aurora that is in the video was originally equipped with railroad track (removed in 2008 if i remember correct). There was about 300 meters of railroad track onbord of the ship on 3 railroad tracks. The 2 center one for freight or passenger trains, the outer one for passenger trains only. They have 3 ships of that class, and one additional slightly smaller ship. While all 3 ships are from the same class, they are slightly different. The class leder is the only one that have a English wikipage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MF_Tycho_Brahe

50-100 of these pulling up to a natural disaster site will be cool in the future!

There's not a single USB charging port on the whole damned thing. ;o)

Totally. The crazy thing is there's a company in BC that builds batteries suitable for ferrys.

I'm sure they are aware and looking at it. There are numerous runs in BC... also Washington state... which could use this system. Example Saltspring Island runs, Quadra Island. Also virtually all the BC interior lake crossings in the Kootenays. I'm sure we'll be seeing this when current ferries need replacement

@@jimlambrick4642 no, BC ferries has said they are looking into LNG ferries... They are supposed to be buying a few new ones in the next while but they aren't looking at electric for some stupid reason.

@@jimlambrick4642 unfortunately from what I've read they want to keep every ship in the fleet capable of covering any route. So because they have a few routes that are too long to be suitable for electric they won't use it even on the ones that would work. Absolutely idiotic as far as I'm concerned.

Brian, perhaps LNG from bio-methane in the future.

Some might not realize that a joke sadly,,,lol

Yes... that is going to happen soon. Another example of how short-distance boats can be viable when turned electric. Two electric "Maid of the Mist" tour boats will soon be operational.

@@thetagmarket1058 Awesome

True, and I support the idea, but the trip is SO short, why carry batteries, when a tethered power source from the Falls themselves could do the job? I don't understand the need for batteries all the time... We should be moving away from them when we can... They aren't very efficient....

@Pete is never wrong I just had a laughing fit! - thanks for that! 😂
