Three years ago, we posted about all-electric hydrofoil runabouts designed and built by Candela that succeeded in combining high speed with substantial range. Bloomberg referred to the company as “Sweden’s Tesla of the Sea” for challenging the conventional internal-combustion-powered leisure-craft industry.
At the time Candela offered 25′ and 28″ runabouts. The firm was also developing a 30-passenger electric foiling commuter ferry. This fall, the first such ferry, the model P-12, will enter service in Stockholm, traveling between City Hall and the suburb of Ekerö.
The Candela P-12 can cruise at a destination-to-destination speed of 30 knots. Because the ferry flies on foils and is powered by batteries, it is almost silent, creates virtually no wake, and has a cost per passenger mile of only 10% of traditional diesel ferries. The P-12 uses up to 80% less energy than traditional diesel ferries.
