Are there any plans, designs, or prototypes for an electric ground effect vehicle? I have been searching around for any plans, designs, or prototypes for a small GEV. All I have found is a ground effect gas powered like this link:


                
            

or an all electric prototype for short distance travel (not ground effect) at this link (eviation alice):


                
            

Are there any ongoing plans to build an electric-powered ground effect vehicle?
Would it be any better or faster than the current water taxi or ferry services?
The primary limiter is this: with batteries of current design, an electric GEV that can lift itself and travel a useful distance consists mostly of battery mass, with little useful payload. This is because a pound of jet fuel packs a lot more punch than a pound of battery.
