Polestar has secured a multi-year arrangement with Candela, a Swedish hydrofoil boat developer, to supply battery and charging systems. The arrangement is one of the world's first direct battery technology collaborations between automotive and maritime companies.
Polestar and Candela share common ideals of innovative design and commitment to improved sustainability as the leading EV brands in their respective industries. Candela's electric boats 'fly' above the surface, using up to 80% less energy at high speeds than typical powerboats because of computer-controlled hydrofoils that raise the hull above water.
