Candela C-8 Polestar Edition Debuts As $450,000 Electric Boat That “Flies” Over Water

Swedish electric boat startup Candela has unveiled the latest version of its Candela C-8 hydrofoil which is the result of a closer partnership with Polestar, the maker of the all-electric Polestar 2 hatchback.

As with the regular, non-Polestar edition of the C-8, the hydrofoil uses the same 69-kilowatt-hour battery pack and charging hardware as the standard-range Polestar 2 to enable a nautical range of up to 57 miles at a cruising speed of 22 knots (25 miles per hour). The top speed is 30 knots (35 mph).
