Which portion of the transport sector do you think is the most difficult to electrify aviation or maritime? (self.electricvehicles)

Now that we have electric semi-trucks propping up all over, which is the next area for clean transport to expand into?

Maritime. You've got open seawater, no way to recharge that you don't carry with you, and a lot of balancing issues that can't be messed with.

Mind you, navies have done some of the work to get it there. Just not sure what aspects would be available for commercial/civilian use.

Aviation is difficult because of weight and balance constraints, but I think you'd still have less trouble on average.

But, this is way outside my wheelhouse, so I'm playing guesswork here.

Yes, but maritime you can sail. Not so much with aviation.

That's definitely true, but we're on an electric vehicles community, so I was only thinking along the lines of electric powered options.
