The 7th edition of the Venice Boat Show (Salone Nautica Venezia) begins Wednesday, May 27th and will once again provide a large stage for electric propulsion in a city synonymous with water and boating. Listen to this article as a podcast The centre of the show is the Arsenale complex, where a 2,000 man enterprise could turn out a ship every day during Venice’s five century reign as a maritime empire, and an entire Italian forest was dedicated to supplying the wood. In this century, marine fast charging network Aqua superPower is supplying two high speed chargers for the electric boats that will line the P2 Pontoon of the complex, and a Green Parade will have those electric boats cruising through the historic canals of ‘La Serenissima‘ (the most serene city). The Green Parade is on Friday May 29 and kicks off three days dedicated to electric boating, winding up with the presentation of a number of awards on Sunday including: Environmental Award: for the vessel with the lowest environmental impact Technological Award: for the most innovative technical solutions and Venice Award: for the vessel generating the lowest wake impact In this Plugboats Guide to Electric Boat Exhibitors we highlight some of the electric Sailboats, Power Boats, Watertoys, Jetskis, Motors and Batteries that will be showing at the Salone, along with a Directory of all electric boats exhibitors that includes links to their websites for further information.
