Electroate Dasher — “Tesla water” for half a million dollars

Electric transport is becoming really popular, but the transition to electric, I think not only manufacturers of municipal vehicles, but the developers of air and water vessels. Among the last distinguished American Hinckley company, which manufactures luxury yachts since 1928. Their latest development — the Dasher, an electric ship luxury. It is to be issued individually, and is very expensive.

Inside the yacht is equipped with two lithium-ion batteries of 40 kWh — just like the ones I put on the electric vehicles BMW i3. Dual electric motors Torqeedo Deep Blue 80i 1800 allow it to reach speeds up to 50 kilometers per hour. Not so much, but for a luxury ship created to make it leisurely boat trips, quite well. The battery charge lasts for 60 kilometers, provided that the speed of the yacht will not exceed 15 miles per hour. If you speed, trip distance significantly reduced.

The ship’s length is 8.7 meters, and it weighs just three tons — for its production were used modern, environmentally friendly materials significantly reduce weight. At the presentation of the yacht in Newport, the company’s representatives compared their offspring with Tesla cars, but I must say that the comparison is not quite correct, because this yacht cost considerably more than electric — Dasher will cost from half a million dollars. And the price paid for the ship in the base set.
