Beyond Electric Cars: Electric Planes & Boats (2025)

1. 9:45. Changing from diesel to electric does not mean eliminating pollution. It just means you are moving it away from the vehicle, and over to the electric power plant. I expect it is LESS pollution, but it does not eliminate the pollution.

2. Doubt if this projects will be commercial viable even in 5 years

3. Or we could use bullet trains

4. I am hetero, can't buy electric bs

5. Does this system utilize a Li-on or Lipo battery bank? The eventual midair fire is going to be spectacularly devastating.

6. Electric cars are crashing in sales and will soon virtually disappear because they are a logistical nightmare (charging), not commercially viable nor are they environmentally friendly, quite the opposite. So, they're out. No one in their right mind will get on a fully electric aircraft. Hybrid aircraft might eventually work out for short-hauls as noted. Who knows how watercraft will go? Small stuff, maybe. Ocean going large electric ships will never happen. The entire fossil fuel emissions scam is a money-grabbing hoax started nearly sixty years ago by a Canadian communist revolutionary named Maurice Strong, and none of this fairy-dust electric vehicle nonsense will make the slightest bit of difference to anything. Pursuing the development of electric vehicles on a large scale will itself cause massive environmental degradation and unsustainable mineral resource depletion in their manufacture. If you have even the slightest bit of an open mind on this subject, please watch this 80-minute video of the truth about climate change: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOAUsvVhgsU

7. My brother, you should seriously stop converting units " so and so mile or so and so kilometers"…. No need. Everyone has a phone and can convert in their calculator app. Also, people in the US SHOULD start getting comfortable with the metric system anyway.

8. Cool but you better be a rich ass mf if you want to buy any of these.

9. We need to focus on synthetic fuels for aircrafts, our cities should have old style trams and open space for electric bikes, and I think electric cars are viable. The traditional train is still one of the best long distance mode of transports – and thats why I love trains.

   I see a future of nuclear reactors or solar fields synthesising fuel with energy density greater than petroleum

10. With 30 years in the airline industry flying multiple turboprops and jets, I would be very surprised if a complex aircraft like this ever becomes economically viable. First and foremost, Dispatch reliability…

11. 0:30 That BASS DROP

12. I smell more bullshit, mints needed! call 911!

13. I've seen other news articles about the Heart X1 project. From my limited knowledge, I think they would be better served by using an internal generator to power 4 electric engines. The ideal candidate generator could be had from a company named Liquid Piston. Their generators are revolutionary in that they can run off any fuel, liquid or gas with simple adjustments, and they are roughly a quarter of the size of comparable generators. These units work so well that the US Army has adopted them to replace their 15,000KW units.

14. Dear Dagogo can you tell what exactly is the percentage of electricity produced by burning fossil fuels, of course far away from electric boat harbours and glamour city centers ?

15. The electric boat two seater looks fun and practical for calm bodies of water

16. All great until a cell goes bad. Battery more expensive than the plane itself.

17. pre congratulations on 5 mill!

18. Nope.

    Not interested. Sorry.

19. Weakest Cold Fusion video ever! Feels like a plug. If this trend continues, I’ll unsub. I don’t need electric propaganda; we need more trains, bike lanes, better city planning and generally focus on pedestrians and public transport not this junk.

20. Electric everything

21. How do they solve the cool temperature issue that make batteries losing power?
    It is cool up the sky flying high.

22. Yeah great idea take the plane for 800km or less. I'm sure there is no alternative that is more climate friendly like I don't know… Buses or even TRAINS… This might be a good development to eventually get electrical long range planes, and maybe in certain areas like Alaska this might be useful. But otherwise I don't see it, sounds like a bad joke…

23. Silly. How often are we getting this "breakthrough" announcments and they are brought by engineers of companys who need attention to survive. Forget flying with heavy batteries for a while and use trains -.

24. It's cool to see progress, but the more I see of these things, the less I believe that it will ever be possible to have fully-electric intercontinental flights of large aircraft carrying hundreds of people. Even the "breakthroughs" are extremely short distance and carry few people. Without an actual major breakthrough (like 100x the density of power storage for the same cost, which may not be physically possible), implementations will remain niche. That said, even having a niche is better than nothing. Bu a niche does not in itself solve energy or environmental problems.

25. These planes are dope for island nations or places like Alaska. But we all know trains are better in like the vast majority of places.

    Well better for people and the environment, probably not for the stock market

    I do want the boat though, but for recreational use. Very fitting for south Florida

26. I'm liking this retro Beyond 2000 or Beyond Tomorrow vibe.

27. That is not an electric plane. Thats a turbojet with junk in it.

28. The big challenge for electric boats isnt personal transport, but shipping. We need clean container ships.

29. Candela P-12

30. Drip stupid drinking beer on the water while driving a boat not anchored to the water. Irresponsible. Property damage and dead people.

31. 10:31 wow – is that Kryten?

32. Instant power isn't a factor because regular airplanes run the engines up while still with the brakes applied. They have the same instant power when the brakes are released.

33. Since Trump cough Elon cough gutted the FAA, I reckon their grant will disappear
    No way Musk wants an electric plane to compete with SpaceX

34. Yup, you are right to guess that Iately I skip your videos thinking it is something I have already seen and 2025 tags told me its the latest one so I clicked

35. So I can’t bring more than a 99Wh battery on the plane for “safety” reasons but they want to make the plane one giant battery? Seems logical to me.

36. There's a reason why the boat is not shown going through waves, it probably gets very unstable crossing waves

37. Please do an episode on the Xiaomi Su7.

38. Lets get even more rediculous, lets make electric planes

39. batteries dont work in the cold so good luck with

40. So a plane whose payload is batteries. Good idea.

41. Fount this completely uninteresting

42. As much as I enjoy advancements in planes for things like electric and speed, I really wish there would be more focus on advancing safety/survival.

    I’ve been saying this for a long time. People are quick to throw out how much safer they are then cars which okay sure but the thing with cars is depending on the accident you can walk away whereas with planes if something happens you’re pretty much cooked. That is a terrifying thought. It would be great if we could find a way to reinvent the wheel when it came to this so that when something happens the likely outcome is everyone would be fine.

43. Poor range. Risk of death from falling out of the sky. Lithium and water make the boat a floating fire hazard.

44. Please make a video about Zimbabwean microsonic energy that keeps battery fully changed always
