Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, have created a unique method for further developing hydrofoils that can significantly increase the range of electric vessels and reduce the fuel consumption of fossil-powered ships by 80%. In this way, we could also use electric ferries on longer distances in the future.
