The Economist features Candela
In this week’s Science & Technology section, The Economist covers the world’s first foiling electric speedboat Candela Seven in an article describing our breakthrough foiling technology and the comeback of the electric boat. This is probably the first time a leisure boat manufacturer is featured in The Economist, one of the world’s most prestigious business magazines. But then again, Candela Seven is not an
"We set out to change the industry - removing the dependence on fossil fuels in boating. Now we have a product that not only matches, but beats its fossil fuel competitors"
- Gustav Hasselskog, Founder & CEO

THE CHALLENGE
So far, no one has built an electric boat which can replace fossil boats. Even the most recent attempts have failed. They either get speed or range. Not both. The reason is simple. Planing boats need enormous amounts of energy. And one kilo of gasoline contains 15 times more energy than one kilo of the best battery.
RETHINK IT ALL
Boatbuilders typically employ boatbuilders. But to crack the challenge – designing the world’s first electric boat with both speed and range – we had to do it differently. We joined together some of the world’s brightest minds within their fields: hydrofoil technology, carbon composites, dynamic modeling, self-learning and software development. The result is a revolution. Meet the team behind Candela.
NOTHING LIKE IT
- Unparalleled sea handling: Fly above instead of bumping around on the waves and wakes
- Like a fighter jet: The hydrofoil positions are measured 100 times per second. The Seven is aware at all times.
- Silent: Enjoy a conversation or simply the sounds of nature
