A new company called ENVGO is putting its unique spin on the maritime industry, beginning with a new hydrofoiling boat called the NV1. The vessel features a massive battery pack with DC charging capabilities, and its hydrofoil design enables impressive range on the water. ENVGO is a new electric boat manufacturer led by a team of executives with backgrounds in robotics and tech.
To begin, ENVGO secured investments from a group of investors who recognized the potential of a fully electric maritime industry and not only provided the young company with financial backing but offered “valuable industry connections and business acumen.” ENVGO also partnered with superyacht designer David Weiss of Designova Creative to aid in its initial design and engineering process. According to its website, the company is “on a mission to empower boating enthusiasts and the watersports industry with high-performance, zero-emissions boats, offering an effortless, exhilarating, and sustainable experience on the water.
