MAKING ELECTRIC BOATS MAINSTREAM

In a watershed moment for electrification at sea, the two Swedish companies Polestar and Candela have ventured into an agreement where Polestar will supply the battery and charging systems for Candela's revolutionary hydrofoiling speedboats.

The deal lets Candela tap into state-of-the-art automotive battery technology and scale up the production of its best-selling electric boats.

To make electric boats mainstream, we need to build thousands of boats every year. Working together with Polestar, we're able to bring the scale of production and world-class engineering from the automotive industry to the marine sector, says Gustav Hasselskog, Candela CEO and founder.

 

By combining Polestar's batteries with Candela's pioneering electric hydrofoil technology, both companies aim to propel the growth of sustainable electric mobility in society.
