Rand aims to make electric boating a Picnic the key is electric the problem is the added weight of the batteries
"Owners have a choice of either lithium or gel batteries that can be charged while plugged in at the dock, removed and charged elsewhere, or charged through the boat's solar cells. The available Torqeedo electric outboard motor can be easily removed to transport back and forth between the boats when necessary."
@mhpr262 An electric speed boat would still be pretty expensive and heavy. Speed boats consume a ton of fuel which would mean needing really high capacity batteries. A 24" ski boat boat uses a ~55 gal tank meaning you might need about a 400 kWh battery which itself would weigh close to 5,000 lbs (~2,000 kg).
