SpaceX Arc One Electric Boat
Former SpaceX engineers created a startup that is developing a commercial electric speedboat called the Arc One. Priced from $300,000 USD, it will come equipped with a 220kWh battery pack that feeds an electric motor generating over 500 horsepower. Just for a size comparison, the Arc One’s battery pack will be 3-times larger than the one found in a Tesla Model Y. This is particularly important be cause the heavier a boat, the more stable it is on water.



Measuring 24-feet in length, the speedboat is aiming for a top speed of at least 40mph, lasting for around 4-hours on a single charge. Ryan Cook, Arc co-founder, left his job back at Boeing in 2013 and then spent 7-years working for SpaceX as an engineer, while CEO Mitch Lee is the only Arc employee who has not worked for Elon Musk’s rocket company. You can reserve one now directly from Arc’s website with a refundable $1,000 deposit.

The Arc One measures 24 feet long and 102 inches (8 feet, 6 inches) across. We haven’t released the final weight, but expect it to be comparable to other boats of this size and towable by common large trucks / SUVs,” said Ted Herringshaw, Head of Product at the Arc Boat Company to CleanTechnica.
