Candela

Candela is a Swedish electric boat manufacturer pioneering hydrofoil technology for zero-emission water transport. The company designs and builds electric hydrofoil vessels — including leisure boats (C-7, C-8) and commercial ferries (P-12) — that use computer-controlled underwater wings to lift the hull above the water surface, reducing hydrodynamic drag by up to 80% compared to conventional vessels. This efficiency breakthrough enables significantly longer range, higher speed, and lower operating costs than traditional electric boats. Candela's P-12 is the world's first electric hydrofoil ferry, operating passenger routes in Stockholm. The company's mission is to decarbonize water transport and make electric boats economically viable for both consumers and public transit operators.
