At the 2022 Venice Boat Show to be held; from Saturday 28 May to Sunday 5 June various novelties will be presented; including the new 100% electric boat Candela C-8 . This is the evolution of the C-7 model that we talked about in the past and that it already has; found a good diffusion both in Europe and in the United States. Hence, the new model of the Swedish company will debut; in a few days at the Venice Motor Show.

The official presentation will be held; exactly on May 27th even if the concept of the new Candela C-8 model was already; was unveiled last year. The strong point of the C-8 model, as well as of the C-7, is; the possibility to reduce friction with water when a certain speed is reached. The Hydrofoil system that uses the Candela C-8 electric boat, in fact, allows you to drastically reduce the energy needed to move forward. The company & agrave; says his new model uses only 25% of the energy used to navigate by other electric boats of this type. Thanks to its technology, this boat is behaves on the water like a kind of hydrofoil . Precisely because of these characteristics, the boat seems to & quot; fly & quot; on the surface of the water . Reducing consumption obviously also means improving overall autonomy. This is important since we are talking about a battery-powered model.


Candela C- 8 then also creates a very short trail of just about 5 cm at maximum speed. This means that wave motion is also greatly reduced that & egrave; one of the main causes of damage to buildings along the canals. Moreover, thanks to the electric motors, the electric boat is obviously also very quiet. These are perfect characteristics for a boat that has to travel the canals of a city. like Venice. It is therefore not surprising that the builder has chosen this city; for the official debut of its new model.

Speaking of technical specifications, we have a 45/50 kW C-Pod electric motor that allows you to reach a speed; cruising speed of 24 knots (top speed 30 knots). 8.5 meters long, the boat can accommodate up to 8 passengers. The manufacturer speaks of a consumption of 0.8 kWh per nautical mile at 20 knots. On paper, this vessel can rely on more; of 50 nautical miles of autonomy (approximately 93 km). According to the company, with around 8 euros of energy you can sail for 2.5 hours. The price is; of 290 thousand euros more; VAT. You can & ograve; already pre-order leaving a deposit of 1,000 euros. Production for 2022 is; already gone out of stock. Who will book the electric boat, today, will receive it & agrave; only during 2023.
