An electric passenger boat service started operating on Bangkok's Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem.
The boats can run for four hours per charge, at 10-15 kilometres per hour. They each have a solar roof to help power the motor and lamps and are equipped with a tracking system and security surveillance cameras.
The e-boats operate from 6am-7pm, with a boat departing every 15 minutes. The fare was set at 10 baht, but passengers can travel for free for the first six months of the service.
