Electric Times

Electric cargo ships are under development by a start-up called Fleetzero. My Climate Journey (MCJ), an investment fund that supports sustainable solutions is backing the project which also has Y Combinator and Flexport as partners. Fleetzero has developed a 2 MWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack that can fi t in a standard 20ft container. Fleetzero is targeting smaller vessels with these unloading depleted lithium batteries and replacing them with fully charged ones at the various ports of call.
