As part of the program, WETA is planning universal charging floats. Basically, thats a floating barge thats full of batteries, Wille explained. And so, they can longer range. slow charge the barge, and then when a boat comes in, they RON WILLE, ALL AMERICAN MARINE can do a fast charge from battery to battery.PHOTO: ALL AMERICAN MARINEEach representative noted that the shoreside infrastructure is lagging behind vessels, often by multiple years, which is erational profiles.
