Supporting Canadian High-Tech Developments in Marine
Last week I had the pleasure of meeting two of the founders of ENVGO to go for a ride in their NV1 Foiling Electric prototype. It was quite impressive and gives a clear picture of what will be possible in the future for boating with electric power. We plan a feature story on the NV1 in an upcoming issue of Canadian Boating magazine and for additional background, you can read our recent story by Mathew Chaner on the ENVGO NV1 and the founders. That ran in Boating Industry Canada News Week Digest in July.
This is a cutting-edge electric hydrofoil boat that received strong early support from backers, with the company announcing it has raised $2 million USD in its first seed round. ENVGO is co-founded by CEO Mike Peasgood and the team behind Aeryon labs who bring extensive knowledge of robotics, aerospace and drone technology to marine development. It was impressive to “fly” above the waves at a comfortable cruising speed of 22 knots. And, Canada has a lot more going on in the electric-powered boat space.
