Anne Kloppenborg from Amsterdam is waterskiing behind his New Electric SpeedBoat !
Looks like a lot of fun :-)
Notes from the New Electric Team:
This boat is a 1974 Glastron Bayflite. It used to have a 130HP Volvo Engine.
We converted the boat to Electric Drive. All the EV components, including the batteries,
weigh approx 465 kg. (~1000lb) making us only 70 kg. heavier, while putting out 1.5 times the HP and TWICE the torque of the original.
With the current setup we can go 20 minutes @55kph. 45 minutes @35kph, or cruise around the canals of Amsterdam for days @7kph. We recharge overnight, so we installed a 1 fase charger that does a full charge in 5 hours. With a 3 fase charger this would be less than 2 hours.
Want more range?
Buy more batteries.
Want quicker charging?
Up your mains connection and get a bigger charger.
Or, better yet:
Install a solar-panel-fed motherbank of batteries in your home
and charge from battery to battery in 20 minutes.
