One of the brain behind theAptera electric three - wheeled caralso runsEpic Boats , which just intro’d theEpic 23e , the first plug - in hybridelectric boat . Who knew lithium - ion battery were rainproof ?
For as little as $ 150,000 , you too can own the first - generation of the stopper - in , barrage - powered equivalent of a 375 - H.P. motorboat experience , which use the auspiciously named Flux Propulsion EVO 8.1 Marine Drive System to recharge itself over a four - hour run via gas motor . In all , it uses just half what a similarly beefed - up powerboat would use to pull skiers and wakeboarders and let ’s not forget fatty , intoxicated tuber .

I should live , having grown up waterskiing on Lake Maxincuckee in Culver , Indiana . Tip to director , though : For an even more successful promo vid , add some bikini - clad blondes , a case of Coors Light , and more sprightliness - peril airborne deception action .
