I'm usually not that interested in boats, but this got me hooked throughout the whole video. Good job, both Candela and Björn.

Exactly, the entire idea, engineering and execution for this electric boat is top level.

Freaking amazing, imagine how much energy is saved with that technology. I like those non EV related Bjørn reports. Particular those, where the general public thinks its not possible to apply alternative technologies (excavators, trucks, aeroplanes,.......).

@@msk3905 Compared to conventional boats this type is more efficient as much less water has to be displaced. More efficient means less petrol/Diesel/electricity is required to operate this vessel.

Fully vertically integrated production - good way to go for innovation. It is how I imagine a Tesla boat would have been if Tesla wanted to make boats. Brilliant design with excellent engineering innovation. Even OTA s/w updates! Wow, indeed.

I'm a sailor who has been around boats my whole life - this boat is Amazing! Well done! You've done pretty much everything right, I wish you all the best luck with sales. I'm just sad that the nz boat industry where I live hasn't done this already.

You have in a way ..have you seen the chase boat for the America's cup race electric powered by a hydrogen fuel cell..its already been sea tested for range and speed.

I have seen a lot of your videos Bjørn, but this was probably the most most interesting one. On top of that, this guy is super knowledgeable and interesting, a Swedish kind of Elon Musk. What Candela is developing is impressive, so many things done in house. I am actually more interested in boats than cars, and this video made me want a Candela C8. Keep following them please, and thank you!

Much nicer than Elon Musk, who is pretty horrible...

The 40x reduction in fuel cost at high speed is super impressive and massively disruptive. I can see the dynamically adjusting foil (at 100x per second) and the 80HP torpedo pod drive becoming mainstream in all sorts of pleasure and business craft ranging from jet ski (oh the peace and quiet!) up to the family runabout and fishing sport boats. I can also imagine much larger hybrids with multiple torpedo drives.

reminds me a bit of Christian von Koenigsegg when showing off his factory and products 😊

I think I've just witnessed the impending demise of the traditional boat industry! It could only be the Scandinavians who could come up with something as brilliant as this. Thanks for this inspirational video Björn 👏

Fantastic! I started 20years ago as a young engineer to design podded drives for ships (as referred in the video too). I have also been boating since turning 13, driving Tesla already 3 years now. Working on such project would have been dream ….right down to my alley 😁 Only thing I would advice to change is to make the propeller pulling…i.e. propeller first, strut after it. You can gain few extra % efficiency I am pretty sure. Keep going! Making functional serial production boat like that requires lot of efforts. Nice video Björn 💪 I like these non-auto related refreshing videos once in a while in your channel. Next electric tractors, lawmovers, sawchain…. 👍🤷‍♂️

The one issue with that is if you run into debris nets or ropes🤔 ... Trailing they are at least partially protected by the foil mounts.

This is one of my new favorite videos. Always love seeing new designs and ideas for better technology like this with the electric drive unit with minimal design and great engineering:)

Absolutely fantastic video. Thanks to both of you.

Fascinating technology used in this boat! Simply astonishing how it remains stable on turbulent waters, and how well Engeneered. Thank you for posting this manufacturer!

Loved the c7 but the c8 is a real update! Looking forward to the test and the noise comparison to the c7. Please ask: What is the biggest wave that it could foil, without touching the hull?

this was amazing! thank you for showing it to us. I'm usually not a boat guy but the tech and everything got me hooked. looking forward for your test drive Björn!

Bravo Candela! Amazing stuff.

Amazing. Hopefully there will be a LR Version reaching next harbor on rough water. Start to get a license on open water pretty soon.

Crikey. The engineering behind this boat is light years ahead of conventional boats. Just incredible. Very impressive indeed. This is the future of boating.

Wow, congrats Candela, that is real innovation right there!

Great. Very skillfully demonstrated. Shows the passion.

“It’s basically an aircraft in disguise” - this blew my mind and helped me connect the dots between this and the Aptera. Very similar principles! I’m not (yet) a boat person but I’ve got a reservation in on an Aptera and I’m increasingly excited about it.

What an awesome boat, can not wait to see one on the water/air.

Fantastic video! I love the detailed technical information. Thank you for arranging the interview and capturing the video footage.

C8 has half the range of an equivalent fossil boat but uses one twenty-fifth the energy per mile! They’re on the right track - focusing on the aerodynamics and hydrodynamics and as batteries improve their boats will eventually reach range parity with fossil boats. Exciting!

It's nerd-crack to get to see this stuff. Thanks Candela for showing us your toys!

Tesla on water! Enjoyed the video. The world she is a changing.

The 1960's cartoon series 'Johnny Quest' always had some cool technology that his genius scientist father developed, including a high speed hydrofoil. The Candela is truly the incarnation of fanciful imagination from that series. Very Cool!!! And a beautiful machine.

awesome! was waiting for this!

Woah that was very very interesting. Im always amazed how technology can evolve. 😀

Thanks for such a great video.

My first ride in a hydrofoil was in 1965 at Sea World on Mission Bay in San Diego. I was hooked. Amazing boat, but it ran on diesel (I can't stand the smell). The C-8 is elegant. I can only imagine what these vehicles will be like in 10 years as technology and innovation take it on a ride that we can't even imagine at this point in time!

loved this video and this engineering

Cool stuff. Thanks!

Super cool the new c8. A bloke i know works at candela but i havent seen the new model before.

Amazing technology

Cool, more of these videos!

i sincerely believe this is the future of boating... recreational. All boats will have some foiling and likely electric motor.

Nice. Really like that pod. Marketing talk aside, it is really great looking!!

What a wonderful engineering marvel. What I would do is add a small yet efficient engine as generator. Audi did the same on their Dakar rally vehicle. 🙂

Are there Sensors/Radar which scan the surface and below for obsticales? I wonder what happens if its hit a woodlog. Salto?

Wow, wow, wow, super impressed with the C-9 hydrofoil electric boat. The amount of innovation and thought is very impressive. They will sell a lot of these. I wish them well and would love to take a ride in one of these some day. Thanks Bjorn for this fascinating episode. This boat is the future IMHO.

Can the foils take a hit? You are going down the water, you hit something, can you keep foiling or not?

How quickly does it slow down compared to a traditional boat when you take the power off?

I briefly looked at some other comparable boat and Candela price point seems to be very reasonable to me. You can achieve silent sailing with sail boat and now with this. That might be worth some serious money in itself. Running cost of gasoline / petrol powered boat is quite a lot of higher (said 40x in video), and even more so when you include service needs. As far as I can see, main idea is this very small dimension but powerful enough motor+properller that enables hydrofoil. I guess you can not do it as nicely with conventional methods. Idea as such is not totally new, Azipod is 35 y old. Main issue probably is charging infrastructure. But there was something about that in another TB video, so I guess it is in the end alreadyu and easily solvable issue. Boating is something where you "arrive" first thing after you leave your initial harbour so charging time is not critical. Very enthusiastic presentation. Good luck.

I would love to see one of these as a platformed paragliding boat but I bet the range would be drastically reduced but if it could be rapidly charged every trip would probably not be an issue.
