Now they can make the journey aboard the world&#8217;s largest electric ferry.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>Ellen<\/em> started taking passengers last week. The ship can carry up to 30 vehicles and 200 passengers at a time at a top speed of 13 knots. Its 4.3MWh battery, provided by Switzerland-based Leclanch\u00e9 Energy Storage Solutions, gives it a range of about 22 nautical miles between charges.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s enough to cover the ship&#8217;s inaugural round-trip route from the town of S\u00f8by to Fynshav, on the neighboring island of Als. Initially operators have scheduled 3 trips per day, though they&#8217;re hopeful that <em>Ellen<\/em> will eventually be able to complete as many as 7.<\/p>\n<div class=\"flex-video widescreen embed\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Eh2uF_KMT6Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>The ship measures almost 200 feet long and 44 feet wide.
