Breaking the stereotypes associated with electric boating is a daunting challenge considering the availability of entrenched marine technology centered around internal combustion engines.

You can see with

how some of the technology or concepts demonstrated by PlanetSolar are trickling down to the more people.

Given the price of carbon based fuel electric can only become more popular. In the series of videos I'm posting on my channel

you can come to understand that great distances are obtainable utilizing a lithium battery about the size of Nissan Leaf with a modest array of solar panels around 2160 watts.

Of course we do carry a Honda 2000 generator to supplement our charging and electrical needs but at a pittance of a price considering that for 40 days out on the water we used about a gallon a day to 40 gallons.

Electric catamaran solar boating is a reality - at least for us but we hope that by posting more of our 400 videos of last summers adventure more people will come to understand that in 2018 you don't technically need a sail or an internal combustion engine to go boating.
