100% Electric Ski Nautique boat!

So does the "instant tq" theory carry over to the nautical world? Is this thing gonna have more/better acceleration than a regular ski boat?
And, is this the first elect boat ever or just the first ski boat?
Cool vid!

Article says "the industry’s first 100% electric ski boat". Sure there have been other electric boats.

There are plenty of electric boats... any jon boat with a trolling motor could be called and electric boat. This is the first Eboat to be powerful enough to tow a skier and to be able to go into production.
What I would explore if I was them... stick a small gas (or diesel) generator onboard making it a plug in hybrid that you could stay on the water all day with.

1-2 years ago someone came out with a hybrid elec/gas wakeboat, cant remember off the top of my head, but one of the big 4. it could wakeboard for almost 2 hours on battery, then switch to engine and continue wakeboarding, and recharge its own batts, starting the cycle all over again.
talked about a savings of 40 bucks a day or so in gas. but of course the price tag was around $150k if i recall
I wonder if it's 6s or 4s?
haha

I could be wrong, but the video said " 3-4 Skier sets" so that makes me think 6 passes x 3 skiers = 18 passes??
OR 6x4=24 passes....
I could be wrong...
From Middle Eastern oil to Chinese Lithium. Although they may have been running lead, charging lead in 4.5 hours makes it wear out really fast.
The smaller the vehicle, the better it converts to electric. We aren't there yet for boats or planes or cars. Batteries need a huge jump in density and the power grid can't dump power fast enough for charging large vehicles.
Pretty cool that they dumped a ton of money into it anyway.

this is a pure tournament ski boat, not a wake boat or recreation i/o with a tower and speaker pods

they mentioned the company takes electric car systems and puts them in boats, so i assume whatever batteries prius's use is what its got. i always wish they would go into more detail on the stuff, like the electric OCC drag bike.
definatly cool though
Ah, nickel metal hydride then.
Fixed it for you. :shock:

That's pretty cool. Not to sure if it would make a good wake boat since having the weight of a steel motor is going to create a bigger wake then an electric motor with less ballast. (i'm assuming it's lighter)
That's still sick!

I would think by the time you got the batteries and heavy ass electric motors in there, a gasser would be lighter.

with electric they should be able to tune the weight allot better to get the optimal wake without the added water ballast. That would result in a more efficent boat and thus less power consumtion.
With a big iron v8, your stuck with the weight in 1 spot where it has to be in order to get the power to the transmission. With electric you dont. You would also end up with a nice open cockpit area.
