Australian marina network d’Albora has partnered with Australian marine charging firm Seavolt to deliver the country’s first DC fast charging network for recreational and commercial electric boats.
The move reflects the global electric boat market boom, with the sector predicted to grow from US$5bn (A$7.5bn) to US$16bn (A$24bn) from 2022 to 2031, a CAGR of 12.9 percent.
From jet skis to superyachts, the new generation of recreational and commercial vessels will be powered by electricity, requiring a convenient charging station network.
“It’s vital that there’s a charging network in place that can deliver 100 per cent renewable electricity to power our blue highways,” says Seavolt CEO Chris Cudlipp. “d’Albora immediately understood the opportunity, both environmentally and commercially.”
