My comment about electric vehicles having been around for a long time didn't mean they are all that practical. As I put in my initial post, the weight of the ski boat at the Milwaukee Show this weekend is a whopping 5,600 pounds. Have to believe a big chunk of that is the battery array. I did see a prototype pontoon photo where the entire boat had a "canopy" that was a solar array. 20'x8' solar array should produce a good amount of power when sitting at the dock for recharging.
I would love to climb all over that electric Natique and see what sacrifices were made to keep the thing under 10,000lbs. Would also love to see how it was propped and what kind of transmission they are using. |
