Yes! Our batteries have several layers of protection between them and the water, both through watertight physical means such as battery casings, the hull, and fuses, and through technological means such as the Battery Monitoring System (BMS). The BMS monitors all aspects of the battery unit and can shut down the flow of electricity if the battery is becoming too hot, short circuits, has issues with charging any other issue the battery could face. All these technologies are already implemented in electric vehicles and are why you can charge and drive an electric vehicle in the rain without issue! 

We have calculated you will be able to enjoy a full 8-hour day on the water doing a mix of your favorite different watersports and relaxing with friends! However, as with gasoline powered boats, different activities use different amounts of power, so it is difficult to say exactly how long a full charge will take you. What we can say though is that unlike gasoline powered boats, almost no power is lost from the battery to the motor making electric vessels extremely efficient and there is no wasted energy from idling as there is no power loss when the boat is in neutral. 

Thanks to fast charging technology, we are expecting the boat to be able to charge its 300kWH battery pack to 80% in only two hours or using standard charging overnight! We are also partnering with fast charging providers to set up these chargers at marines and boat ramps! 

Electric boats come in a range of sizes and capabilities, and their range can vary widely depending on several factors. These include the size and capacity of the boat’s battery, the power of the electric motor, the speed at which the boat is operated, its overall efficiency, and environmental factors such as wind, waves, and currents. Foiling boats are generally more predictable due to the nature of their design, which reduces drag and improves efficiency.

The conversion is simple: 1 kW ≈ 1.34 hp (or 1 hp ≈ 0.746 kW). Our AEW24’s 300 kW propulsion system delivers the equivalent of roughly 570–600 hp.

That said, electric power doesn’t behave like gas power. Electric motors deliver peak torque instantly, no revving required, and hold their rated output continuously rather than only at peak. Combined with ~90% drivetrain efficiency (compared to 25–30% for marine gas engines), an electric system at the same horsepower delivers stronger hole shots, improved low-speed control, and more usable power on the water.
