C-Pods come with articulating carbon-fiber wings that support (ballpark) 20 percent of the load that’s generated by the vessel’s after hydrofoil. Candela says C-Pods are at least 10 percent more efficient than other leading electric motors. C-Pods reportedly deliver lifetime, maintenance-free service and can be powered by a 180-kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery bank.
