  Why did you change the title?

  Article title is: Electric hydrofoil ferry completes record 160-mile voyage using standard fast chargers

    that’s your problem? why is that your problem? is that really a problem? is anyone hurt? does the change misinterpret something?

      It’s missing key information, and without that information the title doesn’t make sense, and kind of isn’t as interesting. Now read your comment as if I wrote it back to you.

      Ok, now take what you said and ask yourself those questions before deciding to reply to comments.

    The special thing here is that the hydrofoil uses less energy than your typical boat, and they figured out how to recharge it without expensive infrastructure upgrades.The boat can’t go 160 miles without a recharge, but it doesn’t have to do stuff like replace a battery to continue on the next leg of its voyage.

      40 miles per charge, for those that haven't read it. That's enough for a return trip on a whole lot of ferry journeys, though. Certainly a good chunk of the major ones where I am

  It seems like it had to charge multiple times?

  On a single charge, it can travel up to 40 nautical miles at cruising speed.

  Rostislav Alexeyev would’ve been so proud.

  (The dude looks like the most bitter engineer I’ve ever seen.)
