    For comparison tesla doesn’t last 3h🤷🏼‍♂️

      At 100% SoC and 375 miles of range, a Tesla Model S going at an average speed of 65 mph would last 5.76923077 hours (5 hours 46 minutes 9 seconds). Even with wind resistance, rolling resistance, and excessive temperatures, it would still be more than 3 hours. I’ve driven my Tesla Model X which has 95 miles less range than the Model S more than 3 hours. The slower the average speed the longer the time it can go. Your bladder may not make it that long depending on your fluid intake before the trip.

    Yeah! A no stink boat.

    Thats about $250K profit

  7. you know with Marty Kauffman

    November 12, 2023 at 10:00 am

    So if the software didn’t have a speed limit how fast could it go?

    I like seeing electric tech developing like this. I’ve seen electric tractors, snowmobiles, big rigs, etc. They’ll keep getting better in time. Glad CNET made this video.

    Electrical boat in the water. The first victim is gonna be famous!

    It would cut down on the noise for the people on the beach.

    • DoubleYouRides

      Notice how he’s yelling during the higher speed test? It’s still gonna be decently loud on board, and still going to make noise for beach-goers.

    Some sage advice. Never buy a 1st generation of a brand new product. Wait a generation or two or more. Unless you’ve got the money to burn/waste.

    Perfect combination,saltwater and batteries. They also missed the boat on the failure of electric cars.

    Very interested in a fishing boat!!

    • Tc Bowen

      The 3-5 hour battery life makes that option almost non existent.

  14. WACC Warlord

    November 12, 2023 at 12:20 pm

    A lot of comments here seem to not understand that most large boats have battery racks and electric motors. They use what is essentially a diesel generator to power electric motors and battery bays. This is also how many train locomotives work. When you have a large enough vehicle diesel electric is more efficient than normal combustion.

    So, we have been keepjng large battery bays dry on boats for decades. That being said a fully electric boat without anyway to add additional energy while in use is a terrible idea. Look how big that boat is without any below deck galley or sitting area, its all batteries. Terrible design.

    Why does it have such a loud noise if it’s electric?

    3-5 hours?? I live on the Middle Peninsula and I can guarantee the market for a boat like that will br basically non existent.

    That boat pulling 2 skiers would be lucky to last
    1 hour what a joke.
    The biggest joke is 300000 dollars 😂

    • cyber truck

      November 12, 2023 at 10:28 pm

      The savings in gasoline though

    • craig hysell

      November 12, 2023 at 10:36 pm

      @cybertruck4988  lmao other than the generator running on gas at the dock to recharge the over-priced boat !! 😆 🤣 😂

    It will be advantageous being on the water when the batteries catch of fire.

    the price hehe

  22. Joseph Piskac

    November 12, 2023 at 9:58 pm

    What happens to the battery if the boat takes on water in a storm or in error of operation?

    • TomCook1993

      November 12, 2023 at 10:52 pm

      Regular boats still have batteries…

    So awesome boat 🚢 😊

    For $300k u get a 24ft that cant handle chop, needs access to charging ports, only does 40 mph. Theres a bunch of gas boats will do everything better at less than half the price. Thumbs up for creating but the tech just isnt there yet

  27. Oleg Lavrukhin

    November 13, 2023 at 9:20 am

    Why 300 000 for this? For what? 300$ ipad with gps on boat? 😂 Thanks next

    Got to drive the Arc One last year – fantastic boat, team and mission. Crazy cool tech that keeps the battery sealed yet cooled by the water at the same time.

    Beautiful boat. But jeezus, all sold out at $300K. There’s a lot of rich people out there.
