So much room on roof for (solar) activities.

"Sets Sail" ;) Could be interesting with solar.

I haven't found additional information but 40 MWh is just huge. A typical electric car has 60-100 kWh of batteries. This fully loaded ship would cover more than 20 years of electricity consumption of the average sigle person household in my country.
