The All-Electric eD-TEC eD 32c-ultra RIB

eD-TEC’s ed 32 c-ultra RIB is a carbon-fiber boat built by Sven Ackermann Yachts and powered by dual eD-TEC eD-QDrive 1 electric drives. These motors each deliver 200 watts—about 270 hp—of peak power to surface-piercing propellers. The all-electric RIB comes standard with 22-kilowatt AC-DC charging and 150 kW DC-DC fast charging. The latter can charge the batteries to 80 percent in 40 minutes. Owners can add an optional, range-extending foil-assist system, choose between eD-TEC’s cruising and performance batteries, and add jet thrusters for easier close-quarters maneuvering.

Whom It’s For: This boat is an option for performance-minded owners seeking a fast, nearly silent and hydrofoil-ready yacht tender.

Picture This: It’s a slow morning on Martha’s Vineyard off the Massachusetts mainland when word arrives that some humpback whales are patrolling nearby Nantucket Sound. You load the crew into your eD-TEC eD 32 c-ultra RIB and quickly and quietly zip over, arriving in time to witness breaches, slaps and rolls, without some noisy engine scaring off the charismatic megafauna.
