    why would that change anything if those 90,000 cargo ships each need 56,000 EV’s worth of batteries?

    That’s not how scaling works, big is easier, small is harder. Also we’d be replacing 56,000 cars worth of fuel storage on that cargo ship too. We can make non lithium batteries for mass storage, but they’re the size of a house, couldn’t get one in my car, but something tells me a cargo ship could carry it.
