, the new venture secured funding from investors keen on reducing the environmental impact of the maritime industry through electrification. In addition, it will be able to address issues commonly associated with boating, including pollution, maintenance, and noise.

The NV1 is a sleek, carbon fiber machine with hydrofoil fins on the underside that allow the craft to virtually “fly” above the water, which reduces drag and increases efficiency. The reduction in surface contact with the water gives it a top speed of 50 miles per hour, and an average cruising speed of 25.

The company claims that it’s “on a mission to empower boating enthusiasts and the watersports industry with high-performance, zero-emissions boats, offering an effortless, exhilarating, and sustainable experience on the water,” as the report noted.

The 80 kilowatt-hour battery gives the boat a range of approximately 80 miles, which is plenty of time for you and five friends to enjoy the open water. When it’s time to top it up, you won’t have to wait too long, as it’s compatible with up to level 3 rapid chargers.

If the local grid is supplied by clean solar and wind power, you can rest easy knowing that you’re doing your part to reduce reliance on ****** fuels and support a more sustainable energy infrastructure.

of all planet-warming pollution, which includes recreational vessels, ocean-going container ships, and everything in between.

Increasingly, smaller boats are being fitted with more environmentally friendly power sources, including batteries and hydrogen fuel cells, but the larger ships are still primarily reliant on petroleum-based heavy fuel oil.

Luckily, more sustainable marine fuels are slowly getting a foothold in the industry. They offer a reduced carbon output and are made from feedstocks like waste oils, non-food energy crops, agricultural waste, and more.

This would help make an eco-friendly dent in the estimated
