apparently, 40MWh of capacity is enough to travel 40 nautical miles. The distance between Tasmania and South America is around 6,500–7,500 nautical miles.

For comparison, a wide body airliner needs ~0.15MWh to travel 1 nautical mile.
A wide body airliner doesn't carry "up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles".
It also does so in a medium where the main drag force is induced by air rather than water, which is probably a comparably significant factor

I would be extremely surprised if the ship were designed to use 100% of its capacity in one way of its intended route.
