Electric boat

This classic open-plan electric pleasure boat features an elongated hull, pointed bow, wide stern, and an open deck with a central control area and passenger seats. The boat's hull uses a planing design: when accelerating, it partially emerges from the water, reducing wetted surface area and drag. The boat is 7.5 m long and 2.3 m wide. Its unladen weight is 1,500 kg. The propulsion system includes a single 80 kW traction electric motor, mounted in the stern and connected to the propeller shaft and propeller. The electric motor is powered by a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery located in the lower part of the hull to lower the center of gravity. Speed is regulated by a power inverter, which varies the frequency and voltage of the motor supply. When the current is released, the electric motor operates in recuperation mode, converting part of the propulsion energy back into electrical energy. The fore and aft decks feature solar panels protected by transparent polymer glass. These generate electricity while stationary and underway, and also charge the battery. The boat has a maximum speed of 60 km/h, with a fuel-efficient cruising speed of 30 km/h. The hull is made of fiberglass, and the deck is finished with decorative wood. The electric propulsion system ensures quiet operation and precise thrust control. The boat combines the planing architecture typical of high-speed pleasure craft with an electric drive, battery power, and integrated solar power generation.
