Qurrent is a Coeur D'alene-based startup developing avant-garde nautical technology, focusing on ADAS features and electrification.
The electric watercraft segment is rapidly expanding. Taiga Motors, Zen Yachts, and Voltari are just a few manufacturers slightly dividing the EV boating market share, aiming for a niche status. Unlike the automotive industry, each manufacturer aims for entirely different segments.
"The reason that we started it {Qurrent} was to focus on user experience," says Cody Peterson, the firm's chief visionary officer."We wanted to start at a high entry-level market for boats, and these boats are one and a half to two million dollars each. But we can go totally overkill on every aspect of the boat, from the luxury items, the intelligence side of things, the interface side of things, all the way to the amount of batteries and horsepower we can put into the thing.
"The electrical architecture that we put together is quite modular," says Andy Huska, the chief technology officer of Qurrent."I can speak specifically to the Stancraft implementation... it's thirty-eight feet tip to tail when you count the swim deck, and it has a 480 kilowatt-hour battery pack in it. Our system scales even higher than that, so looking down the road, 960 kilowatt-hour and over a megawatt hour is totally within the scope of what we build here.
