Yes, I know it's a wake boat, but it's cool to see stuff like this come out.
10 hours duration with a top speed of 40 sounds pretty cool. Electric dive boats in the future would be sweet.
Better hope no water gets in the battery compartment...
Within its 6.75 meter frame (22.15 feet), it is said to be packing 60 kWh of lithium batteries from sister-company Flux Power that can keep it going for up to 10 hours. It relies on a liquid-cooled brushless DC motor capable of pumping out 268 horsepower and 664 pound feet of torque for forward motion and can attain a top speed of about 40 miles per hour (64 km/h). Not bad considering it weighs in at 3,798 pounds. It comes with a charger and can be plugged into any available voltage outlet or can be topped off by an external generator running on diesel or bio-diesel. The dash features a nice touch-screen with controls and information for the motor, batteries and entertainment system.
