Default Electric Cigarette AMG SLS

I was looking trough video's on youtube about the upcoming ev technology that is applying to the boats.
Of course i think that it can be great with sailboats or non planning hulls at low speeds, but one question came in my mind.
Has anyone ever runned on the yellow magno paint cigarette E-drive ? That thing must be really fast if the numbers are right

Speculation is that is doesn't have enough juice to plane off. We'd all love for them to prove that wrong.

Probably because they are worried all the electrical gear might corrode. Or maybe concerned the boat will sink from all the weight. Or possibly because they know it will only run for about 5 min before needing to recharge the batteries, so they don't think it's worth the hassle.
