Eco Factor: Zero-emission powerboat gets powered by electric batteries.
UK-based Patterson Boatworks has announced its first electric performance vessel – the Elektra Carbon. The hi-end powerboat was designed by Nigel Irens and marries traditional craftsmanship, advanced hull dynamics and electrical motive technology.
The performance vessel has enough space to accommodate six people and the helmsman. The Elektra Carbon gets powered by 144V, 23KW lithium-iron-phosphate batteries that can be recharged up to 3000 times.
The battery pack fuels a high-torque V-drive electric motor that can propel the vessel up to 15 knots for one hour or seven knots for a better range of 80 miles.
