E-power concept part 2

The 27 Nova S is a standard production boat, neither deck nor hull have been specially prepared or lightened in any way. In other words, the electric-powered engine we have installed has been given a really tough job. The power unit and the battery cells come from Electroengine. The transmission is a DPH duoprop drive from Volvo Penta.

This boat has a cruising speed of approximately 23 knots and a top speed of 27 knots. At cruising speed the boat has a range of 20 nautical miles. We will be able to present versions with longer range when the boat is launched onto the market. The craft is charged from a standard 230V/16Ah power-point. Charging takes 28 hours. When using a standard 3-phase 400V/32Ah power-point, full charging takes approximately 4 hours.

A “battery gauge” has replaced the fuel gauge to monitor the battery level. But just in case the power does run out, we have fitted a small diesel generator to get you home. The diesel generator runs at optimum speed to reduce emissions.
