Electric Passenger Ship Completes Range Test on Lake Constance

2 days ago
On July 10, 2025, the electric solar passenger ship "Insel Mainau," designed and built by Ampereship GmbH, completed a range test on Lake Constance. During a 19-hour continuous journey, the all-electric catamaran covered exactly 211.3 kilometers on the lake, with a remaining battery capacity of 20 percent. The ship was back in regular operation the very next day.The 300-kilometers mark would have been possible in a test designed exclusively for range. Another record journey is already planned for next year in order to be able to implement the data obtained on the currents in Lake Constance and the maximum energy efficiency of the ship.
