"In this episode of the
Everything Electric Tech Show, Imogen Bhogal travels
to Botswana’s Chobe River to experience the
Pangolin Voyager — Africa’s first
all-electric, solar-powered luxury houseboat. And yes, we are very aware of
just how lucky we were to showcase this particular story!
Designed by Guts from Pangolin Photo Safaris, this 35-metre floating hotel can
house 20 people and runs entirely on sunshine, powered by 80 solar panels and
240 kWh of onboard batteries. With zero emissions and silent operation, it
enables ridiculous proximity to wildlife. Safe to say, it totally blew us away.
The
Voyager’s propulsion system uses axial flux motors from RAD Propulsion,
leveraging its high-torque slow-spinning propellers, and smart data analytics
to deliver an ultra-efficient, perfectly spec'ed, whisper quiet cruising
experience.
This is a really special episode filled with all the usual hallmarks of an
Everything Electric Episode - but is also sprinkled with a bigger message
that hopefully reminds us all why we care so much about the adoption of clean
energy technologies. Enjoy!
A huge HUGE thank you to Pangolin Photo Safaris @PangolinWildlife and
@RADPropulsion for hosting us."
