Ika Rere Built by the Wellington Electric Boat Building Company
She may not be solar powered but Wellington’s new electric ferry is very impressive indeed. Just look at these specifications:
LOA – 19 Meters
Speed – 22 knots
Passenger capacity – 135
Engines – twin 350 kw
Battery weight – 550 kg
Cost – $NZ 9 million *
I am many shades of green with envy. Imagine what I could do to Borderline (the ESPcat) with $NZ 9 million.
