By God if you have to have a fly bridge that’s the way to do it. They ain’t your old 20th century batteries. Much more efficient.
Can you option larger batteries
Its definitely a novel concept. Is there a sail version? Wouldn’t want to try and circumnavigate the planet without some kind of backup.
They also have an option of bigger pair of 250kw motors, more batteries and the automated kite sail!
First comment. Good video
I almost can hear the captain yelling at his day guests:
„GET THOSE TOWELS OFF THE SOLAR PANELS!!“ 😀
Great concept! Just imagine yourself using it like a sailboat, with almost unlimited range and also a completely clean mindset. And no hassle with the sails ^^
Thank you. It’s about time someone reviewed one of their boats, long overdue. Well done.
A very good video but a little short
How about going into the power use for a trip, give stats, like how far you traveled and how often the generator kicked in.
I know that the software could easily cope, and batteries have already proved that they don’t degrade in electric cars, what about the implementation of the technology?
What I am interested in is real world energy usage, especially in conditions like you had, to see if this vessel would really work for me.
The 140 kWh battery bank charged in one hour. That is a large generator.
What would happen with half the power in the charge?
