Are electric boats the future in Annapolis? Here is what industry workers think.

While Maryland officials are in Sweden to conduct environmental research, examine the feasibility of using electric ferries, and meet Swedish leaders, Annapolis Boat Show goers are considering electric boats. The event draws hundreds of visitors from around the world, but electric boats are still relatively new. Last year, there were approximately four on display. That number doubled to about eight this year, according to Ryan Gullang, communications coordinator for the show.
