This was over a month ago, but I still think it's fitting as an electric vehicle. Reminder that it's possible to power cargo ships using batteries and electric motors.

Will be? As far as I can see, they already are, by some considerable margin.

I think there's lots of positive development but no, definitely not the leaders in anything other than coal consumption right now

It's not about how much energy they are producing domestically from renewables, but hiw far advanced their technology is in fields like solar, wind, and in relation to this article, batteries. They've made huge strides in increasing charge density, reducing weight, and bringing down costs, all of which puts them in a commanding place in the renewables field.
