Vessev built an electric ferry that almost flies

Vessev has developed an electric hydrofoil ferry that rises above the water while traveling, reducing drag and improving efficiency. The company hopes the design will reshape how cities and passengers think about short-distance marine transportation.

Hydrofoil technology could help make electric ferries more practical by extending range and improving ride quality. If adopted widely, vessels like Vessev’s could support cleaner urban transit networks and make waterways a more attractive alternative to congested roads.
