At first, I thought electric jet skis and atvs as very niche, but if you actually consider how these toys get used it makes perfect sense to cut out trips to the gas station and do all your fueling from home. I swear we waste half our gas just making trips across the lake to get more gas.

@outofspecboating6985 11 месяцев назад

And what about the hours you lose when you forget or neglect to plug in that electric jet ski. What’s it take to fill a jet ski with gas, 5 minutes?

Simple to remember to plug in-do it with my cars all the time. Takes me over an hour to cross the lake, fill up, and get back to the cabin.

@gregpetti2461 11 месяцев назад

One benefit that is not mentioned (and which offsets the cost) is lack of maintenance. I have a gas jet ski, and recently bought a Taiga. TBH, I haven't dug into the maintenance requirements (if any) for the Taiga yet, but the gas jet skis need regular maintenance with oil changes/oil filter, air filter, plugs etc. I do my own maintenance now because getting my jet ski to a dealer is a pain, but even then it's expensive and a nuisance. Additionally the cost of electricity has got to be cheaper than gas, particularly marina gas. I figure that consuming all of the battery (2 hours of riding) would cost about $5.00 - tops.

@Aaron-zl5gq 11 месяцев назад

and all that goes out the tube when the battery starts losing its charge after a year, 10-15k for a new battery, been riding watercrafts for 20 years, you make it sound like maintenance is a big deal and its not, just like cars and teslas, talking such little labor and cost to justify what is going to be a throw away unit in 3-5 years.

@gregpetti2461 11 месяцев назад

@@Aaron-zl5gq The "All EV batteries have to be replaced after 3-5 years" is a myth. I've been driving a tesla for nearly 10 years. The batteries lose a small amount of range over time but nothing that makes them unusable. Tesla still warrants them for 9 years and of the hundreds of EV owners I've met and talked to, none of them have had to replace batteries, including one guy who runs a fleet of Tesla taxis with hundreds of thousands of Kms on them. I can't say it never happens, and I imagine there have been some replaced under warranty, but this is not the norm. EV batteries are not like iPhone batteries. They have battery management systems which maximize their effectiveness and longevity.

@CBR2200 11 месяцев назад

It would be nice to have a ski that you can just drag out of eight months of storage and jump on, but the range would be a huge fun killer. When you have a day on the lake you want to get full use of it. A couple hours of riding wouldn't do it, for me at least. This might be a good use case for swappable batteries, although managing the batteries docked would be a hurdle. As Kyle says, awesome toy for the well to do. Maybe haul a pair of these around with your yacht for exploring the narrows.

@jeffdaley8597 11 месяцев назад

I always thought the batteries should be swappable between the taiga jet ski and snowmobile. In that case when you buy one, buying the opposite season toy is 50% off if the battery is shared between the two. I wonder if the battery chemistry is different between the jet ski and snowmobile

@nobrien1 11 месяцев назад

So much less noise!

@kubi0461 11 месяцев назад

Looks like a lot of fun and great for small lakes and if you live on the lake. That range doesn’t sound like enough for anyone else, though. Don’t most gas jet skis manage range upwards of 100 miles or more? The problem is that when people use a jet ski, they’re often going to a big lake for the day and multiple people use it. There’s no time to charge even if there were a place to charge it. Definitely looks like a lot of fun though.

@ab-tf5fl 11 месяцев назад

The presence of a CCS port in a jet ski surprises me, as I imagine the typical use case to be accomplished with just level 1 or level 2 charging, and waterfront docks don't have CCS stations to plug into anyway. Maybe the idea is that people who don't have waterfront homes might store the jetski in a self-storage unit and want to quickly charge it on the way from the storage unit out to the water?

As a Seadoo GTX230 rider - I get the concept and for most people on lakes this would do for a couple of hours. However, I don't see this ski as seaworthy unless the ocean is calm. Would have been nice to see the bottom hull. I am considered hardcore rider - last weekend I went 129 miles on my Ski cruising around Lake George visiting Salt Springs/Silver Springs. You didn't mention weight load capacity either - again for a first gen it's "interesting" but IMHO not for me personally.

60mph PWC + 30 Mile Range = Sadness. Fine on small lakes with non-consecutive riders. The problem with jet-ski type things is they reward you for frequent full throttle inputs, turns, hammer the throttle, hole shots and again hammer the throttle. So unlike a Tesla where you drive at partial throttle PWC’s are driven harder more often. Now if you just want to cruise, you can do that at lower speed and get more range, but whatever your range is cut that in half since you gotta get back home. Then there is the matter of getting a high enough electrical service (100 to 200amps) and run the conductor to the dock area to make this work. I’ve never hated an idea more than complicating PWC’s with electricity.
