The boat went from Stockholm to the Finnish autonomous region of Åland. As a stunning example of the low operational costs ... [continued]

While the much lower fuel cost has to be a bit of a shocker (we all know EVs are more efficient and cheaper to operate, but not 95% cheaper), the bigger surprise has to be how much more convenient the electric boat was in a certain key way. “We actually had range anxiety, but not for the Candela. The irony is that the photographer’s gasoline-powered chase boat had to refuel six times during the trip, while we only charged three times,” said Gustav Hasselskog.

      Auch wenn es heise ist: schaut mal in die Kommentare. Die Zahlen scheinen wohl reichlich manipuliert wenn man Energieverbrauch und Zahl der Tankstopps vergleicht. Da muss es sich um zwei sehr ungleiche Boote und einen sehr kleinen Benzintank handeln. Finde ich schade, weil es irgendwie die Glaubwürdigkeit belastet, obwohl der eigentliche Punkt ja richtig ist das E-Antrieb + Hydrofoil Technik eine super Kombi sind.

    If you think that’s good for efficiency and lack of need to refuel, wait’ll you find out about sails!
