Former Tesla Exec Is Launching An 800 HP Electric Boat | Carscoops carscoops
BIG is developing the R30 around a lightweight and strong aluminum hull and a battery pack that will be housed in the boat’s frame. Current plans call for it to use lithium-iron phosphate battery cells and for the pack itself to have 221 kWh of capacity. The battery will be liquid-cooled and power a pair of electric motors that combine to deliver 800 hp.
The design of the R30 isn’t overly unconventional but it’s still noteworthy. For starters, the hull is finished in blue and it has a fixed canopy, windshield, and side glass. There is a small cooking area directly behind the cab as well as an area with seating and a table. These renderings also showcase the R30 with wooden-clad floors while extendable solar panels deploy out of the canopy and can provide 2.7 kW of solar power. A large sunbed is also found in front of the cab.
