2000-3000 kWh
MF Folkestad will be hybridized during the current year. The diesel engines will be replaced with power electronics. The ferry will be charged when it is located at the ferry quays in Volda and at Folkestad. In addition, there will be two smaller generators on board that will charge the ferry if the shore power drops out.
