Aqua superPower is the first company to supply AC and DC charging stations for electric yachts<\/a> to select marinas at no cost. Aqua superPower manages the grid connection and the installation process, and then the company owns, operates and maintains the stations, as well as the back-end network, mostly via the cloud. Each charging station is connected to Aqua superPower\u2019s office, and customers pay Aqua superPower directly for usage. Aqua superPower seeks installation sites that are popular with commercial or recreational marine traffic, and geographic areas with higher rates of adoption of electric-powered vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety is always paramount when dealing with high-voltage electricity. \u201cWe explored various charging protocols and adopted the universal electric-vehicle Combined Charging System, which uses connectors to provide power up to 350 kilowatts,\u201d says Alex Bamberg, CEO of Aqua superPower. \u201cThis plug is particularly suited for marine applications, as it doesn\u2019t go live until it has made an electronic handshake with the battery. If it\u2019s dropped into water prior to connection with the boat, it\u2019s not live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aqua superPower\u2019s app can help customers find charging stations, check availability, provide real-time charging management and tackle billing. As of now, most charging stations are in the United Kingdom or other areas of Europe; however, Aqua superPower is making US inroads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supercharged<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Aqua superPower\u2019s charging stations deliver AC power (up to 22 kilowatts) and DC power (up to 350 kW; their typical output is 150 kW). While recharging 80 percent of a typical electric boat\u2019s battery takes eight to 10 hours on the AC charger, the amount of time needed reportedly can be reduced to 20 to 60 minutes using the DC supercharger. Aqua superPower station equipment is IP65-rated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
