US-based WaterCar are rolling out the WaterCar EV this year, a hybrid electric vehicle that targets small boat owners with its seamless land-to-water transition capabilities.
From Superinnovators 30/08/24
The company have been creating amphibious vehicles since 1999, introducing their fifth creation in 2022 with the H1 Panther, a road-legal, amphibious Hummer.
Powered by an LS3 Chevrolet engine, the H1 Panther can reach speeds of 55 mph on land and 45 mph on water.
The H1 Panther was initially sold as a limited edition with a base price of $465,000.
Earlier this year, WaterCar offered two of their early R&D prototypes for sale at reduced prices ranging from $325,000 to $375,000.
This year, WaterCar will start manufacturing their first mass-market vehicle, the 18-foot WaterCar EV, designed to appeal to small boat owners.
The WaterCar EV combines a 115 HP fossil-fuel-powered marine engine with a battery for land travel and prices start at $135,000.
The EV model features a high-tech aluminium unibody hull, a top land speed of 25 mph, a water speed of 35 mph, a 72 V lithium-ion battery, and a range of over 20 miles on land.
WaterCar also lists a fully electric version with a 35e Mercury Avator Outboard engine.
Unlike the hybrid, a demo of that model and the full specs have yet to be seen.
