has established a manufacturing site in Pinellas Park, Florida . The company demonstrated its hull, propulsion system and user interface at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Its plan is to begin production in October, and to start delivering boats by Q2 2024.
BIG’s first product, the R30, is a 30-foot electric power boat with dual motors that deliver a combined 800 hp , a liquid-cooled 221 kWh battery pack, and extendable solar panels that can deliver up to 2.7 kW of solar power for recharging. Maximum speed is expected to be around 39 knots. Mr. Vo plainly means to apply some of the strategies and tactics he learned at Tesla. The R30, which is expected to carry a price tag of around $300,000, is very much a luxury boat, but it sounds like more mass-market models are planned for the future.
Why in mono hull? EV should be improving the possibilities and efficiency of a product. I would suggest Catamaran with hydrofoil.
