I have just looked up the vital statistics of the ship that will take us from Harwich to Esbjerg. The m.s Dana Sirena is run by DFDS seaways and has room for 623 passengers and 435 cars. If all those cars were electric and were charging at 2.2 kW (220W x 10A) they would take a total of 957 kW from the ship. The ships two Wartsila engines produce 9450 kW so this is feasible but would add quite a load. It will be interesting to meet the captain tomorrow after we board and see what he has to say on the matter.
