as much trouble as for example putting a petrol nozzle in a fuel tank?

You cant do that with all the cars parked on the car decks of the ferry,
stupid.

#Idiot

Your sig is sposed to be last with a line with just -- on it in front of it.

I'd say it was the perfect place for it

More fool you. It isnt.

It would be.

Nope, because of that problem with plugging them all in,
and the source of the power to charge them all by a useful
amount for the relatively short time crossing the channel.

Quite apart from the risk of one of the catching fire with
the entire ferry being wiped out by the subsequent fire.

cars are going nowhere for an hour,

Which is **** all time to do a decent charge
without ****ing the battery life in the process.

all parked in fixed positions near to walls and ceilings and so on.

Which makes it a hell of a lot of farting around plugging
them all in once they are all parked up on the car deck.

Its up to the drivers to plug them in if they want a charge.

And just how are they sposed to do that with the
cars which in in the massive great block of cars ?

Given that they have an hour to charge, and the ferry is about 1000 cars,
the worst case that they all limp in with dead flat batteries means they
will need on 100Kwh batteries, about 100kw apiece. so in total they will
need 100MW of charge power. It more likely to be less than half that. So
50MW

But with that providing **** all charge in that hour.

Obviously you wont get that from a 4000 bhp marine diesel setup,

Funny that.

but te answer is to stick a reactor in them.

Pity about the cost of that. And all those retractable
cables at every car parking spot.

Rolls Royce submarine reactors are of that sort of power output - 50Mw ore
thereabouts its been estimated (classified)

Pity about the cost of those.

I mean if we are going net zero ferries

Taint gunna happen.

wont have DIESELS will they?

Corse they will due to cost alone.

Although for cross channel they might have batteries!!

Pigs might fly too.
