300km range with end of life batteries and 300km/h cruise speed. With something like that most large islands can be reached from the next mainland and many seas can also be crossed, say the Caspian Sea, Persian Golf, Baltic Sea or the like.

What are "end-of-life batteries" in this case? Is the plan to reuse used batteries that are no longer fit for automotive service?

Batteries loose capacity over time. So "end-of-life batteries" are batteries at the end of their designed lifespan, when the capacity is at a low point.
