    It looks like through their parent company, CC is going all in on this technology. Being able to cruise my home waters in total silence would be pretty amazing, but as you can see it's capacity is still limited. I think a hybrid would be the way to have a little of both worlds.

    Slowly but surely.

    I think I may be the last generation that gets to burn fossil fuel with reckless abandon. I'm gonna enjoy it. That said, an electric dinghy would be perfect.

    Why am I thinking a back up battery for the VHF is a good idea in the Exumas?

    So, it’s a battery powered surfboard?

    Green in name only.

    50 amp charger will take 10 hours. That's a lot of generator time burning fossil fuels to get a few hours of running.

    Batteries are a storage device. Power needs to be generated.

    Full size 23' Ski Boat

    Q: How much run time will the system provide?

    The run time will depend on how you use the system. In a typical watersports use is about 2-3 hours not including reserved capacity for returning to the dock.


    Q: How long does it take to charge the system?
    AC: 10 hours onboard charger at 240 V/ 50 A
    DC: 4 hours on 25 kW electric vehicle charger
    Supercharge: 1.5 hours at 80 kW


    Q: How much does it cost to charge the battery pack?
    Approximately $12 based on current national average rate.

    And the majority of the US power grid is run on coal or natural gas. So... a coal powered boat... with toxic batteries that will end up in the landfill leaching into our water... manufactured with lithium that is mined with more toxic land stripping chemicals and child slave labor in undeveloped nations. Neat. Isn't this going backwards?
