The new Candela C-8 'powered by Polestar' is the first product born from Polestar and Candela's partnership. Polestar will supply batteries and charging technologies for Candela's electric hydrofoil boats, according to an agreement signed in August between the two Swedish electric mobility businesses.
The Candela C-8 electric boat 'powered by Polestar' is expected to have the same 69 kWh battery pack and rapid charging technology as the Polestar 2 Standard range Single motor. Candela forecasts a single charge to provide up to 57 nautical miles of range at a cruising speed of 22 knots, equivalent to comparable powerboats with inboard combustion engines. When traveling at high speeds, the range is two to three times that of regular electric boats.
