The Longest Electrified Coastal Area In The World? - CleanTechnica
The article highlights the development of the longest electrified coastal area in the world along the Mediterranean coastline from the south of France to Italy, enabled by the installation of multiple electric boat chargers. Key locations with marine fast chargers include Genoa, Loano, Ventimiglia, Monaco, Cannes, and St. Tropez, creating a roughly 185-mile route where electric boats can recharge and cruise sustainably. This infrastructure supports a growing fleet of electric day boats, work boats, sailboats, and hybrid yachts, promoting eco-friendly maritime travel and reducing reliance on fossil fuels in a region known for its popular boating culture. The installation of Aqua superPower’s fast chargers, particularly at Marina Genova near Genoa’s airport, is seen as a pivotal step toward electrifying Liguria’s coastline and enhancing sustainable boating in areas like the Cinque Terre National Park and Portofino. The article also notes ongoing efforts to expand electric boating infrastructure further south in Spain, with chargers installed in Portbou, Empuriabr

The article highlights a fully electric cabin cruiser operated by Canal Boats Telemark in Norway, which offers eco-friendly boat rentals for touring the scenic Telemark region. This 33-foot electric trawler is powered by a Torqeedo electric drive system with two BMW 40 kWh batteries, providing a cruising speed of about 5.5 knots and a maximum speed of 10 knots. Its range per charge is approximately 53 nautical miles, with charging options available locally, including slow (10 hours) and fast (2.5 hours) chargers. The boat features a comfortable interior equipped with a galley, freezer/refrigerator, and onboard restroom, while solar panels on the roof supply electricity for onboard amenities but not propulsion. The electric boat produces no direct air pollution or fuel spills, aligning with Norway’s predominantly renewable electricity generation from hydropower and wind. Its quiet operation enhances the cruising experience and minimizes disturbance to wildlife, contrasting with noisier gas or diesel vessels. An American couple

ACEL Power, a Canadian leader in intelligent electric propulsion systems, has partnered with Madrid-based boat builder Vector Náutico to launch a new electric boat line called MOLA-e. Designed for coastal and inland cruising, the boats measure 5.99 meters in length and come in two configurations: a 50HP model with a 32 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery and a 75HP model with a 43 kWh LFP battery. These batteries offer high energy density, extended lifecycle, and enhanced thermal stability, enabling zero-emission propulsion without sacrificing performance. The MOLA-e line aims to combine luxury yacht design with the accessibility of a day cruiser, featuring optimized hull geometry for improved range and handling, as well as wide swim platforms for easy water access. The first units are expected to debut in mid-2025, with sea trials and showcase events planned across Spain. Pricing and customization details will be released closer to the launch. Both companies emphasize sustainability and reliability, positioning
