the new 28.5-ft (8.6-m) Hinckley Dasher will take to the ocean with an electric BMW i3 powertrain hiding within its shapely hull.
In the Hinckley Dasher, which is being touted as the world's first all-electric luxury yacht, two 40-kWh batteries are hooked up to twin 80-hp (60-kW) Hinckley Whisper motors. That means around 40 mi (64 km) of range while cruising between 18 and 27 mph (29 and 43 km/h), though it drops to between 20 and 25 mi (32 and 40 km) at higher speeds. When the batteries are flat, owners can connect two 50-amp chargers at once for a four-hour charge time.
