Even Tugboats Are Going Electric

Revenge of the Electric Car

Since battery weight in a boat isn’t much of an issue, they can use low cost lead acid batteries, yet still get all the power and energy they need. The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach together constitute the largest port facility in the U.S. They have plenty of room for several megawatts of PV there.
