PWC

After honing its craft on land, Tarform is looking to drop the fast, exhilarating spirit of its Luna e-motorcycle into the water. The Raye PWC takes on the form of a piece of molten metal poured and cooled into a sleek, slippery vessel with up to 120 hp.

This year, all-electric water toys took on many shapes and styles, from powerful add-on e-drives to hydrofoil submersibles. Before swapping the calendar out, take a look back at the hardest charging, deepest diving electric water toys of 2022.

Around the time we looked at the WaveFlyer "world's first electric hydrofoil jet ski," Neocean was developing an e-hydrofoil PWC of its own. The Overboat starts its ride as a mini-catamaran before rising over the water to hit speeds up to 20 knots.

Jet skis are handy things to have on a yacht – but most look like they were designed by people with their caps on backwards, who might say things like "yo" and "gnarly," and who probably don't put their pinkies up when they drink tea, the savages.

All-electric jet skis have been gradually edging onto the scene for a few years now, but the 300-hp, 75-mph Supermarine MM01 from French outfit Bouvet Marine looks like it's well and truly here to play with the PWC big guns.

Sea-Doo gets a little less "personal" with its watercraft lineup, launching the Switch family of pontoons. The Switch remains Sea-Doo to the core, bringing together PWC-style handlebar steering and a Rotax jet drive, along with a modular deck design.

Back in 2018, Hungary's Narke revealed the world's first electric personal watercraft designed for proper series production – the GT45. Now the company has announced its latest model, with a more powerful electric drive and room for three.

Last September, Canada's Taiga Motors hit the water with a sexy US$24,000 carbon-bodied electric Jet Ski named the Orca. Now the company has put two more models up for pre-order, with prices starting at $15,000.

The world of personal watercraft appears to be ripening for the transition to electric. And why not? Check out this 180-horsepower Canadian beast.

​Perhaps best-known for its diesel engines and robotic agricultural equipment, Japanese company Yanmar also makes personal watercraft. Its latest addition to the latter category is a little something known as the Wheeebo, which is kind of like an aquatic Segway.

​The Nikola Motor Company has previously brought us battery-electric cargo trucks and off-road vehicles. This month, the Arizona-based startup announced that another e-vehicle will be joining its lineup – the WAV personal watercraft.

Hungarian company Narke claims it's building the world's first electric personal watercraft (PWC) designed for proper series production. The Electrojet is a 60-hp (45-kW), carbon-bodied electric sit-down jet ski capable of doing 35 mph (55 km/h) in near silence.
