Two Swedish electric mobility companies are teaming up in the first ever battery deal between an electric car company and an electric boat maker. Polestar’s powerplants will find their way into two models of Candela’s flying electric boats, marking an industry first.
Polestar and Candela partner up
The Candela C-8 as well as the recently announced Candela P-8 Voyager will both receive the new Polestar batteries and charging systems.
The deal gives Candela access to Polestar’s state-of-the-art automotive batteries designed for electric cars. Most electric boat builders rely on specialty boutique manufacturers of marine batteries, but Candela will now be able to leverage Polestar’s expertise to reduce costs and increase production.
