Electric vehicles aren’t all about cars. For proof, just take a look at the R30 speedboat from Blue Innovations Group, a fully electric speedboat that’s gearing up for a bigger reveal at CES 2023.
Blue Innovations Group
Blue Innovations Group was founded by Tesla’s former head of global manufacturing John Vo. After spending more than six years there, Vo set his sights on revolutionizing the boating industry with EV technology.
The 221 kWh battery means the R30 can run for eight hours, but you can also get more mileage with its extendable solar panels that provide an extra 2.7 kW of solar energy. If you don’t use the R30 every day, you could even keep the speedboat topped off with solar energy alone.
For now, BIG will have a prototype at its booth during CES 2023. The R30 won’t come cheap though, costing around $300,000. However, Vo says he expects the price to drop once mass production starts.
