Candela ’ s C-8 model showcases the best capabilities supported by hydrofoil technology , aiding their mission of increasing electric boat usage
The boat that exceeds all others is one that doesn ’ t follow the conventional format .
Candela , the Swedish boatmaker , set out to revolutionise boating through combining innovation and advanced electrification , resulting in the latest and greatest boats opening up opportunities for seaborn transport .
The key to efficiency in the boating industry is the ability to increase the range per charge , which can be achieved by limiting the surface area of the boat in contact with the water . Candela ’ s hydrofoil propulsion systems limit the boat ’ s contact with the water , allowing the glide across oceans — also referenced as a flying motion .
The Candela C-8 has , in some cases , doubled the distance that electric boats are able to travel , completing the 84km trip from Monaco to Saint Tropez on a single charge .
