QM2 has 5 of these pods fitted IIRC.
Each of them rotatable around 360 degrees to improve stopping and maneouvring ( the reasons BIG ELECTRIC pods are the way for modern boats )
Military proposals are around for DOUBLE the size of pod.
The QM2 has 3 turbines and 2 diesel engines to produce the electriciy for these puppies 
I don't think they've any major storage, they just turn on more engines when they need more electricity
