Electric cars, trucks and buses have already revolutionized their markets in recent years. Up next: electric boats.

The 25-foot, 9-inch long boat is expected to fit up to 10 passengers. The single motor version is billed as able to hit a top speed of 14 miles per hour, compared with 23 miles per hour for the version with twin motors. Each motor is 25 kilowatts, all powered by a 66-kilowatt hour GM automotive grade battery.

Arc launched last year, and has already raised more than $30 million in funding from firms like Eclipse Ventures and Andreessen Horowitz, plusan all-electric 24-foot cruiser called the Arc One that features a massive, 220 kWh electric battery — three times the size of the battery in a Tesla Model Y. That battery powers a 500 horsepower motor, allowing the electric speedboat to reach top speeds of 40 miles per hour, according to Arc.
