This was over a month ago, but I still think it's fitting as an electric vehicle. Reminder that it's possible to power cargo ships using batteries and electric motors.

total capacity is 19,000kWh, an EV battery is ~100kWh, so maybe round to around 200 car battery-sized batteries. Maybe not an apartment building, but they'd probably make a two bedroom feel cramped.

Ten TEU containers is 1,600 sq ft (40ft sq) with an 8.5ft ceiling. I think it's a bit bigger than you're imagining.
