Superb radical 'outside the box' thinking, probably designed by industrial designers not boat designers, great ergonomics at the helm but not the helm seat strangely. Totally impractical with no side or bow decks to moor or anchor it. How strong is the glass in a choppy sea! I designed a radical new battery powered canal boat with four thrusters and joy stick control ten years ago but I made sure I had a back up gen set for emergencies. It will no doubt influence boat designers as Wally did.

The foiling and e-power are great, but otherwise I'm somehow reminded of the "mobile lounges" that have been used to move passengers at some airports.

Excellent opening shot of that beautiful rear....?

If this is made by BMW, does that mean the indicator stalk is in the glovebox?

Why? It’s ugly, useless and electric.

Oh SO practical 🙄

So, an electric version of the 1960s hydrofoil.

Выглядит красиво, но практическое применеие ограничено. Это шлюпка для близкой обзорной поездки, но за 2 миллиона евро комфорт и удобства отсутствуют... безопасность тоже сомнительна... Конечно кому-то понравиться, но уверенный спрос на эту лодку на мой взгляд сомнителен.

Amazing, even better if it wasn’t so block of cheese shaped.

Wonderful to see more forward thinking. If only a mainstream manufacturer like Sunseeker could _start_ to make an effort with hybrid electric drives, recognising that last-century diesel engines don't look clever anymore.

Missed opportunity to fit the roof with solar panels?

Yes. Then you’ll only need to charge it every day instead of every few hours.

Peak direct solar input = 1kw/sq m, peak efficiency = 22%, so 220 watts for every sq meter perpendicular to the sun. How big is the roof? How long is the sun directly overhead?

Creaky old greenhouse on stilts.

So designers are having to massively engineer boats to reduce friction so electric boats (which is roughly 2% as efficient as diesel) can even sort of pretend to be real. So just imagine the extraordinary mileage you'd get if this boat was diesel.

Doesn't even need a diesel engine. Keep the nice quiet electric motor connected to a generator. (Basically what Silent Yachts do, how the are really used).

So utterly stupid. Just because you CAN, doesn’t mean you SHOULD. All this EV nonsense is a waste of time & money. It’s a fantasy. Did anyone notice the boat off the bow? Breaking down the minimal chop so this “thing” could follow in its flat wake? That should give you a hint. If he considers those calm conditions “reasonably lumpy” he hasn’t boated where we do.
