That's a bit misleading, for sure.  it's only broken-down EVs that can't board.

 

But there are lots of EVs on the Gulf Island, this may be an issue for them.  But I imagine they will find a private barge that will take them.   There are lots of barge services for all the islands.

It’s a chemical fire so those may not be safeguards.

How do these electric boats operate that makes them so much safer I wonder.

If my reefer brings the temperature down to zero kelvin then fire cannot exist.

I want to see that reefer, it will obviously be one of a kind.
