KB: The bow is designed for easy docking and entry for passengers and the low freeboard at the stern brings the freedom of panoramic views, ample space for fishing and optimal utility for loading. W*: What key design elements define an X Shore boat? To achieve the best results in hydrodynamics, X Shore collaborates with Rolls-Royce to test for the optimal combination of hull, shaft, propeller and rudder. We design and build the boats using the latest CAD technology and traditional Swedish handmade craftsmanship. A consistent speed of 25 knots can be reached when cruising for more than 2 hours and a distance of 100 nautical miles can be completed when travelling at lower speeds. An X Shore craft can achieve a top speed of 40 knots. The aim is to change a traditional industry from all aspects. Our challenge is to combine hardware and software in harmony with the hydrodynamics. KB: The powertrain is the heart but the X Shore innovations go way beyond. W*: Are X Shore's boats designed around the powertrain? Other innovations include a motor designed to handle stress, a battery that has outstanding power to weight ratio and a magnetic gearbox, which ensures silence, zero air friction and no vibrations. We have a modular interior and an efficient hull. KB: X Shore’s hydrodynamics in combination with software and hardware adhere to the same standards all this results in outstanding acceleration, coupled with speed and performance over distance. W*: What benefits does electrification pose in terms of design? This is why we say that X Shore is ‘the power of silence’. This craft requires minimal maintenance and the cost to drive it is approximately a tenth compared to fossil fuels powered boats. With new technology and innovative research, smart design and sustainable materials, X Shore embraces the long tradition of maritime craftsmanship while discarding fossil fuels, with electric power leaving a much smaller carbon footprint. KB: Our mission is to provide a better seafaring experience for our customers and for Mother Nature. W*: Are there economic, environmental and legislative reasons? At X Shore, we're striving to bring sustainability and innovation to the marine industry and be at the forefront of a new wave of modern electric boats. Imagine what it feels like to enjoy the sea without fumes or noise and becoming one with nature travelling without harming the environment. Wallpaper*: What are the key things driving electric boats? We spoke to Konrad Bergström, CEO & Founder of X Shore, about the company's ethos. The Swedish company is pushing its Eelex 6500 and Eelex 8000 as zero emission alternatives to conventional sport boats and tenders, placing an emphasis on concern for the marine environment and the sheer delight of noiseless performance. X Shore is a new boat builder joining the fast-growing market for pure electric vessels.
