Flying above the waves. Check out the Swedish electric powerboat that travels about the water.
-- The boat appeared normal in the video until it didn't. A sleek white powerboat, about 30 feet long, skimmed along the top of the water like one would expect until the boat's hull began to rise bodily out of the water, revealing three stilt-like legs.
"Getting long range and high speed with a conventional electric boat with a planing hull is impossible," said Candela company representative Mikael Mahlberg. The hydrofoils also makes the ride smoother and quieter than a planing hull, said Mahlberg. "If you have side winds, or if you have waves or whatever, you won't feel them as a passenger. You'll just fly through it."
Candela isn't the only company trying their hand at electrifying the small boat market, and it's worth noting that hydrofoils are not fundamentally new -- they've been in use in some form for more than a hundred years. But Candela is hoping that by combining different tech, as well as features such as a premium sound system, it can make an appealing product. Mahlberg specifically cited the Tesla electric car company's strategy as inspiration.
