China,
. . . launches World’s First "All-Electric Cargo Ship," and

It will lower the cost of transportation for bulk cargoes,
. . . because the price of electricity,
. . . is lower than the price of diesel fuel.
The 230 foot long vessel is equipped with a
. . . 2,400 kWh lithium-ion battery, that stores enough electrical energy to transport,
. . . 2200 tons of cargo a distance of,
. . . 50 miles on a single charge at
. . . 8 miles per hour.
It takes 2 hours, to recharge the battery.
. . . which is approximately the time needed,
. . . to unload the ship at its destination.
