LIKE if you think all vehicles should be electric & SHARE if you support ocean clean-up projects like AIM ZERO In this final instalment of his Swedish trilogy, Andy takes to the water with X SHORE boats to find out how these cutting edge, 100% pure electric boats are having a positive impact on the environment. X SHORE, along with CAKE bikes, POLESTAR and AWAKE (boards), have formed the AIM ZERO project to promote the reduction of carbon footprint and in particular divers are using X SHORE boards to clean up Swedish waterways. The distinct design of the X SHORE resembles a fishing boat at the front and a modern sailing boat at the back with a flat, open design making them perfect for diving. They are modern, easy to drive and can certainly get up to some speed! With benefits of cost savings, no fumes, no engine sounds and helping the environment - could the future of boats be truly electric?

I'm currently making an electric catamaran dinghy that will have 202.9 nautical miles or 375.77 km range @ 28.41 knots/h or 52 km/h speed & will be much cheaper than this boat. It's only 3.1m long, 2.445m wide, a much smaller battery & motor, it relies on a roof full of solar cells to recharge as it's going & will travel 101.45 nautical miles or 187.885 km on battery plus solar charging then It will need stop & wait 3.25 hours to recharge before it can travel another 101.45 nautical miles or 187.885 km on battery plus solar charging. The time between charging when the vessel is motionless can be spent fishing or diving or whatever activity needed to take up the recharging time needed. Everyone will say that this is impossible in the real world but it's not, it's purely mathematically & mechanically possible and there is an easy way to make all this possible if the weight is kept down & specifically how you reduce the drag of the material that goes though the water, unfortunately most boat manufactures refuse to use this method anymore because it's too efficient.
@@jonathansmythe6273 You can charge using the static charge in the air & convert it to a voltage regulator but no one talks about that as it's a Nicola Tesla invention of free energy.
Loving Andy's enthusiasm for the products and their potential positive impact on an industry that's desperately in need of a clean way forward. Great selection of toys that I'd love to try out myself.
I'd just like to say that I love the fact that the peeps from all these companies are happy to conduct their interviews in English. Thank you, chaps, it's very much appreciated. :-) At school I had to do French, German, Latin and Greek, and I picked up Kiswahili when I lived in Kenya, but my Swedish is about as good as the Chef from The Muppet Show ("Schmooordi boord, chuckki?"). Jolly good show, Fully Charged. Carry on...
Impressed with the multiway tie-up on technology, and the results. And THANK YOU to the guys who are going out 'garbage collecting.' It is not a job that you normally associate with risking your life, but collecting trapped nets and the like can just as easily trap and kill divers as it does wild life. Respect.
Nice to hear just the chop of the water and the birds. Nice coverage of this emergence of electric marine propulsion. Look forward to lots more like this along with airplanes and electric spaceships.
I love the cake bike easter egg. On top of the potential for an entirely new workforce that expands on current sanitation services. We can create so many jobs geared toward cleaning the planet.
Can't wait for more electric boats. We have a dockside restaurant we like to go to but it is near enough to the fueling dock that you get gas fumes and exhaust fumes from the ICE boats which doesn't mix well with eating food.
This could have been sponsored by the Swedish Tourism Authorities. Absolutely brilliant tech in a stunning setting. Once more Scandinavia gives the world a benchmark to aspire to.
See, here again, we have an example of the electric version has more benefits than the ice version, that's always been one of my gripes with smaller boats is that the engine is in the way of a good dive platform. So much potential, great execution, I want one..or two.
If anyone's been on a boat, you will know how awesome it is to have a quiet boat. We would have gotten closer to so many dolphins if our boat was quiet.
Dolphins don't seem to mind my 20 hp 2 stroke outboard...They accompany me on my journeys on a regular basis. But yes, quiet electric boats are awesome, & so are dolphins.
@@zivkovicable you can probably sneak up on them easier lol. I mean I've been on boats quite a lot with dolphins jumping on the waves but i think enjoying it and hearing them and not the motor would be awesome.
Excellent product. Small, high torque motors are perfectly suited to boating. When you think about a boating holiday, on a narrow boat for instance, the image is, silently, meandering the waterways enjoying nature etc. The reality is the constant and deafening thump-thump-thump of a huge deseasil engine and the headache inducing fumes that go with it. Replace that with EV, partly, or "fully charged" by solar panels on the roof and away you go!
I went onboard the Xshore in September 2019 at the Cannes boat show. Nice to see you covering it. Incredibly expensive for a small open top boat. Main issue is economies of scale for buying in the batteries which greatly increases the cost of the boat. Last year almost all orders were from Superyacht owners; it now looks like it's also being sold or leased to specific projects such as the one shown in the video. Interested to see what other boats they have in their pipeline. We really need to decarbonise the thousands of existing motor and sailing boats; that will take an interesting business model though and it's much harder to retrofit than build new. I can't see thousands of fibreglass yachts being scrapped to make way for new yachts as, aside from recycling and other environmental impacts, that is a lot of money to scrap.
I'm beyond excited to see this beautiful piece of engineering hit the sea all over the world. Thank you for always bringing us such great content! Go Green 😊❤️🌻
I was on a zero emissions trip on that same stretch of water 20 years ago! A family pedalo outing! There wer nearly some emissions when the waves from the Finland ferry washed up...!
boats are really easy to convert to off grid electric, did mine myself. they don't have the same power to weight sensitivity cars and other land based electric mobility have so there are a lot more options
@@inkpen1999 well I said some charging, not the full battery. I was thinking along the lines of the Lightyear One Car, just add a little to extend the range or take care of radios or some other stuff. I was thinking 375W panels, you could probably fit 6 of those and in a good day that's about 9kWh. Could add even more bifacial panels and fold them out to increase area when the boat is stationary.
@Olav H Solar panels are pretty cheap these days, and compared to the price of a new boat, their cost is insignificant. How much is it worth to have an endless source of extra power on your boat when you're out at sea?
@Olav H Given the cost of that boat, the solar panels would be a tiny proportion of the retail price. But as other's have said, it would provide very little energy for the boat's propulsion; for ancillary items in warmer climates, then yes, it's a good idea. And as Carlos said, you could fit far more than a 250W panel though a much longer roof would be required; 500W would certainly be possible on the existing roof, though lighter weight, more efficient flexible panels should be on the market in the next 12-18 months, so 1kW is possible within the next 2 years with a longer roof. Folding out panels is possible though that certainly adds weight and complexity (it's best to keep maintenance down to a minimum on a boat!).
@@SMGJohn , they started out using repurposed batteries from wrecked Nissan leaf's. After they received more conversion requests, they started importing lithium ion batteries from a company in the U.S. new electric was featured in a TH-cam video interview done by Robert Llewellyn and Johnny Smith a couple of years ago. Early 2019 time frame, if you want to watch the video. The video was published January 25th, 2019 on the Fully Charged TH-cam channel.
@@joshuasmith7369 Thanks for the info Actually sounds interesting, wish electrification of boats came faster, it would reduce operational costs by quite a lot.

Something what I would have loved to see is 1. How is the boat getting charged 2. How is the housing of the propulsion system 3. Any figures of the amount of the space that is actually getting saved by using electric I do understand that the boat is a prototype and 2021 is the one which will be available in the market but had we had the above points , I would have liked the video even more
Nice boat and practical but I never heard anybody mention if there are any solar cells on the roof and if not why not as to me its the perfect platform to have them fitted as what would you do if you ran out of power it's going to happen if no cells fitted or people worry about the range it has I for one thinks its a brilliant boat and would have one in a heartbeat a solar cell on the roof to me makes perfect sense while you're anchored up fishing out to sea or deep-sea diving you know while you're having fun your boat is recharging with FREE Energy and it just makes that boat perfect so know one like me can say what I've just said as you will get people who don't want to change even when they know its a better boat and to be honest boats are the perfect vehicle to have a battery instead of engines as you would be able to fit so many and get a crazy range and with a large surface area to install solar cells as well to me its a no brainer and for the Atlantic crossing boats a small generator running on hydrogen to charge the battery at night and you have a totally green boat or ship for that matter the bigger the easyer it would be in my mind it just needs someone with some guts to do it.
No fumes yay! it's the biggest turn off when you have to use a ferry. I hope they sell a tonne of these to companies and researchers who work on the Great Barrier Reef.
These are really cool and fantastic to see, but €250,000 for a tiny little diving boat!!! Need to start somewhere I know but that price is insane. I’ll be waiting for something with accommodation and about half the price!
"Silent Yachts" have some amazing 60 & 80 foot cruiser solar-powered catamaran models, but I haven't seen anyone marketing for the 30-45 foot live-aboard type layout yet. It may take time for the market to expand down to the lower budgets. Right now they are getting as many orders as they can build for the $2-7million bigger boats. Just like electric cars, I'm sure builders are going to supply the high-margin luxury market first, then use the profits to develop more mass-market models as they can afford to invest in more factories.
animist channel as a marine engineer, I’d like nothing better than to see the giant filthy beasts I maintain go the way of The horse and buggy. I see a day in the near future where people in my profession are trained in, say the difference in reluctance and induction for different marine applications instead of two stroke vs four. Where diesel and heavy fuel engines are treated like reciprocating steam engines are today in the texts, and a firm understanding of verifying battery chemistries are the norm. The future is silent...
When are we are going to see X SHORE EB see them Australia, Lismore NSW. Would good to have at next 23 September 2021 an EV and Renewable Energy Conference/Field day in Lismore NSW. We could take over to Byron Bay.
A good episode but have to say the restaurant owner should be paying to clean up litter the customers have dropped overboard. Electric narrow boats would work in the UK coupled with a reasonable battery store.
Hmm... no mention of if there was or was plans for solar on the roof... Even if it's not much, it could help with charging if you don't use the boat much, or even possibly as a limp-home feature :)
For me, as a SAIL boat sailor, I have always found the non-sail, pleasure boat somewhere between evil and totally evil, for various reasons, mainly environmental. But I can't object to the electric boat, provided it is powered by renewable energy. I will welcomely change my attitude because this helps the way to a clean, sustainable future. I would still encourage people to pleasure SAIL though, for the real adventure. 👍
Guys when the earliest fully charged I could find on TH-cam was published the Tesla model S was not yet in production. This channel is not about selling electric vehicles is about encouraging as much of the world to go zero carbon as possible. If you cannot buy this boat today, you might be able to buy it’s descendants in 5 , 10 or 20 years but if boats like this don’t exist it won’t have descendants.
Well obviously I want one. Doesn't look very all-weathery so I guess it'll just have to be hot, sunny days I use one. I see another new presenter too. I've clearly missed something.
Very cool. Curious on a couple of details: 1) what form of propeller is used (i.e. are the blades open or enclosed) and where on the boat is it located (I _know_ it's on the bottom...what part :-) ); and 2) are there any issues with wildlife not knowing the boat is there because it's so quiet?

I'd hope it to be slick and quiet for over 200 000 €. Can't wait until electric boats start to become more reasonably priced that would be epic
250k for that ?hhhahahahahahahahahhahah

They should make a version with a roof and fill it with sola panels!
Get shade and some charging
In the sun, a 250w panel might make 200w for 10 hours a day, so 2kWh. With 120kWh of batteries, it could be fully charged in 2 months...
@@inkpen1999 well I said some charging, not the full battery. I was thinking along the lines of the Lightyear One Car, just add a little to extend the range or take care of radios or some other stuff.

Could add even more bifacial panels and fold them out to increase area when the boat is stationary.
Carlos Curiel no offense but that’s pretty silly compared to the abundance of rooftop solar.

you should have a look at the Swedish Candela speedboat. 100% electric foiling boat
In most places, some waterways are zero ICE powered, old fashioned :) , and have been for decades. That just needs to start expanding.
I like that Polestar. Tesla keeps breaking down, so I will try a Pstar next. Can"t justify the price of the boat in terms of cost and convenience yet.

Great concept and why not as nearly every Marina already has shore power for every boat spot.

The future is silent...
Does it have a solar roofing to help power the batteries?
For the man overboard feature would be cool if you could tell the boat to stay in place... with those fore/aft spinners sounds like it could be done
If I remember correctly, virtual anchor involves a bit more complex setup than just side thrusters.
When are we are going to see X SHORE EB see them Australia, Lismore NSW. Would good to have at next 23 September 2021 an EV and Renewable Energy Conference/Field day in Lismore NSW. We could take over to Byron Bay.
solar roof as range extender and emergency backup for a kind of limb mode? at least to have backup power for the instruments and communication?
Does the boat have regenerative braking ?
Asking for a friend 😉
Could electric be an answer to reviving the British canal system? There;s a 4mph speed limit so power requirements are very low.
Not too much about the Awake board unless I missed it -- 14:15 -- what is that thing? Looks awesome!
A good episode but have to say the restaurant owner should be paying to clean up litter the customers have dropped overboard.
Electric narrow boats would work in the UK coupled with a reasonable battery store.
Awaits the inevitable "I'm on a boat" comments.
Well, you're the first...
When happened to that gorgeous ev boat conversion using Tesla parts, made by that dutch conversion house?

I would still encourage people to pleasure SAIL though, for the real adventure. 👍
Guys when the earliest fully charged I could find on TH-cam was published the Tesla model S was not yet in production. This channel is not about selling electric vehicles is about encouraging as much of the world to go zero carbon as possible. If you cannot buy this boat today, you might be able to buy it’s descendants in 5 , 10 or 20 years but if boats like this don’t exist it won’t have descendants.
Well obviously I want one. Doesn't look very all-weathery so I guess it'll just have to be hot, sunny days I use one.
I see another new presenter too. I've clearly missed something.
I love the boat, but why would you design something with no chill area ?
this is why we should get longer lunch break
300 HP , WOW!!
Check "Sailing Uma". They have an all electric ocean sailing boat. Sailing La Vagabonde is a Catamatage also in the process of going all electric.
Is that a solar roof? Why no mention of it?
electric and solar boats that are also sunami rafts would be crazy good utility
Very cool. Curious on a couple of details: 1) what form of propeller is used (i.e. are the blades open or enclosed) and where on the boat is it located (I _know_ it's on the bottom...what part :-) ); and 2) are there any issues with wildlife not knowing the boat is there because it's so quiet?
The prop(s) is at the back!! With thrusters at the sharp end!!!
Wow!
It'd be cool if that roof was larger and had solar panels on it.
Really happy to see this technology flying over the seas, for a better world and healthy oceans. Well done!
Is the flat roof a solar panel?
Sweden is a beautiful country, a bit cold in the winter, hey?
about time!
