Hertz is in business to make money. It is a BUSINESS not a government anti pollution program. I did not build my 40 foot long Totally Electric Powered Solar (TEPS)tm boat for sale or rental. It would never yield a profit that to allow a company to generate enough money to pay workers, a design t

The million mile battery? Most folks when informed with CATL or Tesla saying they have a million mile battery think its range miles are all on a single big charge. Nope! even at a projected $80/kwh at full production, not so LOL. Truth be told, range anxiety will still be the dread as it was befo

Jerry, Thank you for your 3 following concerns…... 1. In winds or getting caught in a fast tide the boat could be out of control and you don't have enough power to handle it. >>Every boater should factor their boat, their experience & limitations, >>applying the sum to the area of passage, nav

Mike Nickerson and all, My apologies for not answering your last question more accurately about total wattage off the roof and per square foot. At 65 x 39 inches (17.6sf) the 11 modules yield 2,585 watts (13.3 w/ft2). Their replacement with cells of similar output and utilizing the full roof ar

Mike Nickerson, The 24 volts being used for the overall system voltage was a technically painful choice but needed for a salt environment. I have been shocked at 48 VDC in salt bilge water and can say that it is weird and unpleasant. There are an increasing number of marine electronics that uti

Dan Baker, What a nifty craft for a lake getaway. If I had made a boat such as yours, I am sure that I would have spent a lot more time on it than the Mog. A great deal of ingenuity, especially the auto pilot. I currently use a Spectrum DX7 remote control and look forward to an upgrade with RPM

I have just joined and subscribe to EVDL with the idea that there are likeminded folks interested in large EV boat design and building. The MOG is not a commercial enterprise at this time but may be key to the creation of such. Everything designed and implemented over the past 25 years is descri
