"Battery-powered boats have come of age, thanks to collaborations with luxury automakers, creative design, and improved performance and range."
"Improvements in hull design, drive trains, management systems, and even the addition of solar panels have led to electric-powered craft with high-level fit and finish and stylish design...It's not just a simple case of retrofitting an existing hull with electric motors and heavy lithium-ion batteries. It has to be engineered together to work effectively."
