Candela Breaks Electric Boating Record

In September, the Candela team made significant strides in sustainable boating by setting a new record for the longest day trip in an electric boat —the Candela C-8. Equipped with a Kempower portable DC fast charger, they were able to recharge swiftly, completing a 150-nautical-mile journey across the Baltic Sea in a single day. This achievement highlights Candela’s commitment to advancing electric boating technology and pushing the boundaries of what's possible in eco-friendly marine travel.

See it in action in this video they made documenting the entire journey!
