I use to have a Kawasaki and Yamaha 1100's, we could easily go though $75 of gas in one afternoon for both of them. If you lived on the water having an EV jetski would be super convenient, shows a 2023 Kawasaki Jet Ski STX 160 LX starts around $13k so even the gas ones aren't cheap anymore.

You have the best job ever!

Love Jet Skis 🤓

One benefit that is not mentioned (and which offsets the cost) is lack of maintenance. I have a gas jet ski, and recently bought a Taiga. TBH, I haven't dug into the maintenance requirements (if any) for the Taiga yet, but the gas jet skis need regular maintenance with oil changes/oil filter, air filter, plugs etc. I do my own maintenance now because getting my jet ski to a dealer is a pain, but even then it's expensive and a nuisance. Additionally the cost of electricity has got to be cheaper than gas, particularly marina gas. I figure that consuming all of the battery (2 hours of riding) would cost about $5.00 - tops.

@@Aaron-zl5gq The "All EV batteries have to be replaced after 3-5 years" is a myth. I've been driving a tesla for nearly 10 years. The batteries lose a small amount of range over time but nothing that makes them unusable. Tesla still warrants them for 9 years and of the hundreds of EV owners I've met and talked to, none of them have had to replace batteries, including one guy who runs a fleet of Tesla taxis with hundreds of thousands of Kms on them. I can't say it never happens, and I imagine there have been some replaced under warranty, but this is not the norm. EV batteries are not like iPhone batteries. They have battery management systems which maximize their effectiveness and longevity.

It would be nice to have a ski that you can just drag out of eight months of storage and jump on, but the range would be a huge fun killer. When you have a day on the lake you want to get full use of it. A couple hours of riding wouldn't do it, for me at least. This might be a good use case for swappable batteries, although managing the batteries docked would be a hurdle. As Kyle says, awesome toy for the well to do. Maybe haul a pair of these around with your yacht for exploring the narrows.

@jeffdaley8597

I always thought the batteries should be swappable between the taiga jet ski and snowmobile. In that case when you buy one, buying the opposite season toy is 50% off if the battery is shared between the two. I wonder if the battery chemistry is different between the jet ski and snowmobile

I put a deposit down for the jetski and the snowmobile pretty (non-carbin fiber version) close to the same time I put down a deposit on my Rivian R1S. I have.over 20,000 miles on my R1S and no word on when these will start delivery.

The video is fine👍😎

Only for the affluent shopper at this price point. Prices will came down over time however as battery packs and economies of scale kick in. I predict Sea Doo has a BEV under development right now and will be the first to market.

Seadoo will be the first of the major manufacturers to produce an electric PWC. 3-5 years is my educated estimate.

Alligator bate. 😊

Oh gosh the legs!

Looks like a lot of fun and great for small lakes and if you live on the lake. That range doesn’t sound like enough for anyone else, though. Don’t most gas jet skis manage range upwards of 100 miles or more? The problem is that when people use a jet ski, they’re often going to a big lake for the day and multiple people use it. There’s no time to charge even if there were a place to charge it. Definitely looks like a lot of fun though.

at our lake jet skies are all but banned due to the annoying noise they make. this solves that issue.

The presence of a CCS port in a jet ski surprises me, as I imagine the typical use case to be accomplished with just level 1 or level 2 charging, and waterfront docks don't have CCS stations to plug into anyway. Maybe the idea is that people who don't have waterfront homes might store the jetski in a self-storage unit and want to quickly charge it on the way from the storage unit out to the water?

As a Seadoo GTX230 rider - I get the concept and for most people on lakes this would do for a couple of hours. However, I don't see this ski as seaworthy unless the ocean is calm. Would have been nice to see the bottom hull. I am considered hardcore rider - last weekend I went 129 miles on my Ski cruising around Lake George visiting Salt Springs/Silver Springs. You didn't mention weight load capacity either - again for a first gen it's "interesting" but IMHO not for me personally.

It would take a lot of miles to make the battery cost (including environmental) worthwhile. So maybe not viable for personal ownership, but great for rentals.

60mph PWC + 30 Mile Range = Sadness. Fine on small lakes with non-consecutive riders. The problem with jet-ski type things is they reward you for frequent full throttle inputs, turns, hammer the throttle, hole shots and again hammer the throttle. So unlike a Tesla where you drive at partial throttle PWC’s are driven harder more often. Now if you just want to cruise, you can do that at lower speed and get more range, but whatever your range is cut that in half since you gotta get back home. Then there is the matter of getting a high enough electrical service (100 to 200amps) and run the conductor to the dock area to make this work. I’ve never hated an idea more than complicating PWC’s with electricity.
