FAQ

We have put together a list of frequently asked questions. If you don't find what you're looking for in the list below, just get in touch and we'll help you.

How fast is Strana 23?

Maximum speed with our 7.5kW pod is 7-8kn
Maximum speed with our 15kW pod is 13-14kn
The boat is designed for speeds up to 15kn. We are currently evaluating and testing stronger engines that will get us closer to this speed.
From a sustainability perspective, we advocate "slow boating" and we have no ambition to make more than 15 kn with Strana 23.

How far can I get on a charge?

Very much depends on what speed is maintained. According to our measurements, consumption doubles next exactly for each knot.
At a cruising speed of 5kn, you can drive over 80NM (Nautical miles)
At a maximum speed you reach 28NM

Where are all the charging posts in our ports and archipelago, where should I charge?

Our batteries are relatively small and we charge at low power, so the usual 220V outlet found on most piers and harbors works just fine.
There are many more 220V sockets (CEE or Schuko sockets) than gas stations, so there are no problems at all.
Via our app, we set the power output from 2-16A when charging is started in order not to risk overloading the network in, for example, a guest port.

What happens if the battery runs out at sea, should I carry a spare battery?

Via the app, you always have an overview of how much battery capacity is left and how far/long you can drive at a maintained speed.
If there is a risk that you won't arrive, just slow down a bit.
We have a very long range with the Strana 23 at lower speeds, and you have to be very careless for a long time to run the risk of running out of battery capacity.

How long does it take to charge the batteries?

Our large battery pack (28kWh) charges from 0-100% in 10 hours at 16A charging power.
A normal scenario is that you arrive at port with 50% battery capacity left and set 10A charging power. Then the batteries are fully charged after 9 hours.
This means that in most cases the boat is easily recharged overnight
If the boat is not to be used for a few days, the charging power can advantageously be set further down.

Electricity is so expensive, is an electric boat really good?

Even with expensive electricity prices, it is significantly cheaper than fossil fuels.

How long is the warranty period on the batteries and should they be replaced in a few years?

The batteries have a warranty period of 4 years or 3000 hours of use.
There is of course a lot happening in battery development, so it is difficult to predict what the future has to offer in this area. But from a life cycle perspective, the batteries should not be a problem.

Should the batteries be removed during winter storage?

No, the batteries can withstand temperatures during the winter

Do you have solar charging?

No not today. But we are investigating possibilities and will offer it in 2026.

Where are the boats made?

We are keen on local production and a high level of quality. Therefore, our production is located on the west coast of Sweden. The hull is made by experienced hull manufacturers in Kungshamn and the boat is assembled and finished by talented boat builders in Henån in Orust.

What maintenance is required?

Electric boats have a big advantage regarding the need for maintenance. Our electric motor is largely maintenance-free where only a zinc anode at the propeller must be changed annually and the small amount of oil that cools the motor must be changed every three seasons.
On the other hand the battery will need charging during storage.

What does Strana mean?

Strana is an old colloquial name for the fishing village Hälleviksstrand on Orust, which is also the base of our company.
