Electric propulsion is slowly making its way into bigger boats and much like in the auto industry, it is starting with more premium products – not unlike Tesla.
Q-Yachts is jumping onboard with the Q30 all-electric day cruiser yacht. The Finland-based startup says that it aims to become the ‘Tesla of the seas.’
The company is enabled by Oceanvolt, a manufacturer of electric propulsion systems for sailboats. Janne Kjellman, the founder of Q-Yachts, has been working “in stealth mode” on the project for several years.
It was finally unveiled a few months ago and now they are making their first delivery.
Kjellman said:
“We are confident that this is the beginning of something big. We are very pleased to have two young friends who appreciate the unique values which Q-Yachts stands for and who like our design, as our first owners”
