This paper proposes an alternate transport system using renewable energy powered electric boats, in Dhaka, to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Solar powered charging station has also been proposed to meet the energy demand for charging the boats. Suitable boat selection was done by taking into account the limitation of the proposed Gabtoli to Sardaghat water route. Economic and environmental analysis was also performed to check the feasibility of the proposed system. The analysis demonstrated that, with only 12 boats, the levelized cost of energy is 7.63 Taka/kWh, with an estimated emissions reduction of 288 Tons. The electric boat can be a suitable alternative mode of transportation since it is cost-effective and reduces tailpipe emissions caused by conventional fossil fuel powered vehicles.
