What this call funds
This call funds large scale demonstration projects to improve electric powered ships, including ferries, short sea vessels and inland vessels. The goal is to extend how far these vessels can travel on batteries alone, boost peak power, enable fast charging and improve battery lifetime and safety. Projects should end with technology proven in real operating conditions and ready for wider rollout.
