Presented in a preview at boot Düsseldorf, this small Dutch-built powercat is both environmentally friendly with its electric drivetrain (2 x 80 kW) and innovative with its curved central foil system.
A long way from most electric catamarans whose speed remains very limited, the GreenPower 33 promises a cruising speed of 20 knots and even the ability to reach 27 knots. Three energy storage capacities are proposed to offer a range, depending on speed, from 23 to 178 miles. These batteries, supplied by CATL, come with a lifetime warranty. A standard two-phase or three-phase 380 V outlet is all that’s needed for overnight recharging. Although the GreenPower 33 has a double cabin and a heads compartment, it is above all a daycruiser, with an extraordinary main storage volume of 68 cubic feet (1,920 liters). Another 13-foot-long (4m) storage area is ideal for compact paddleboards and kayaks. The first models will be delivered in May.
