🌟 Candela's P-12 for FlyTahoe is Marine News Magazine's Boat of the Month 🌟 Read more at: https://lnkd.in/ewa77UJv

The [Candela & FlyTahoe] electric propulsion system has no emissions and no chance of oil spills. Quiet operation both over and under the water gives a stress free ride to both people on board and marine wildlife.

"FlyTahoe in the US...[with] the Candela P-12 electric ferry has been designed to smooth through waves of up to a meter in height (3.3 ft) when its hydrofoils raise the hull above the water..." Read more at: https://lnkd.in/gMtKMNXZ

THE FIRST US Electric Hydrofoiling Ferry was announced by Candela. The company announced that it will be bringing the ferry to the popular Lake Tahoe area straddling the Nevada/California border. This is just weeks after the company launched the world’s first electric hydrofoiling ferry service in Stockholm, Sweden. On top of that, they have just completed a $14M funding round that brings total investment for 2024 to $40M. https://lnkd.in/geg9sPGM Candela recently marked the production of its 100th electric leisure hydrofoil vessel. The company is now aggressively targeting the rapidly expanding global market for electric waterborne transport, which is projected to reach $15.32 billion USD by 2032. The recent investment funds will be used to scale up P-12 production to meet rising demand for the groundbreaking zero-emission vessels. Candela is working with San Francisco company FlyTahoe to launch a service with a 30 passenger Candela P-12 designed with space for both skis and bikes. It will connect the lake’s north and south shores with a 30-minute trip that cuts the travel time in half compared to the 20,000 car journeys taking place every day. The key to the P-12’s speed and environmental advantage is the advanced hydrofoiling technology. By lifting the boat’s hull out of the water on underwater wings, resistance and drag is significantly reduced and energy consumption is cut by 80% compared to conventional vessels. That makes electric propulsion for a 30 seat vessel a viable proposition. The P-12 has a torpeedo shaped dual motor with contra-rotating propellers that enables the boat to cruise at 25 knots (≈ 30 mph / 50 kmh) for extended distances. Gustav Hasselskog, Candela’s founder and CEO, and Ryan Meinzer, Founder & CEO of FlyTahoe, spoke about the historic ferry. EVinfo.net congratulates Candela and FlyTahoe on the amazing achievement, bringing cleaner air and electric propulsion to Lake Tahoe, aiding in the fight against climate change.

How smooth is Candela P-12 in waves? Watch the of the P-12 Nova validating its performance in waves outside Nynäshamn, Sweden. The test was conducted on a day with 14 m/s gusts and easterly swells up to 2 meters high, sending our accompanying photo RIB flying as it tried to keep up with the Candela P-12. The P-12 is designed to handle significant wave heights of 1 Hs, meaning some waves can reach almost 2 meters in height. In non-foiling mode, the P-12 is built to withstand 2 Hs, meaning occasional waves can exceed 3.5 meters. Its operational scope includes coastal routes, archipelagos, urban waters, lakes, and rivers, providing ride comfort far superior to traditional boats.

FlyTahoe and Candela worked together to create a flying electric ferry that will operate as a water taxi around Lake Tahoe. “Our service will provide a faster transport than cars or buses, while keeping the lake blue,” said Ryan Meinzer, CEO of FlyTahoe.  Pick up a copy of the magazine or read more online at: https://lnkd.in/e_stsDEu

"TRPA supports innovative transportation solutions that get people out of their cars and off the roads to reduce traffic, congestion, and sediment runoff to protect lake clarity and water quality," she said [Sarah Underhill, communications director for Tahoe Regional Planning Agency].

"This innovative ferry is not just another mode of transport—it’s a bold, game-changing move towards a future where eco-conscious travel and sustainable tourism are the norm. Amid a growing environmental crisis and crippling road congestion, FlyTahoe, the local company behind this initiative, is making history with its commitment to cutting emissions and reducing the environmental damage caused by traffic."

The Tahoe Transportation District also endorsed the idea. As a private sector endeavor, “if they can make it pencil out, then that’s great,” said District Manager Carl Hasty. “It is a great start,” he said. “This is the type of vessel we want to see.” Pick up a copy at your local newsstand or read more at: https://lnkd.in/e_yv58-p
