A new regulation issued by the Greek Ministry of Shipping and Island Policy in force since mid-April is limiting the maximum charge level for EVs and plug-in hybrids to 40% if they want to board a ferry.
The data we have from Sweden for example indicates that ICE vehicles are 20 times more likely to catch fire than EVs. In any case, wouldn’t it be easier to just be prepared for fires, of any vehicle?
But thinking about this from a logistics point of view: as EVs become more common in Greece, how do they expect to check the batteries for all of those cars trying to board the ferry and still get out of port in time?
Do they care that the batteries have different sizes (different vehicles/models) so 40% can mean a very different amount of energy all things considered? Will they check that as well?
Will they build a closed-loop circuit where the EVs and hybrids can drive around until they reach the desired 40%? This might be one of the only times when I don’t want my EV to be so efficient! 
What about charging the EV again when you leave the ferry?
