In August of 2020, Glas Ocean Electric launched the first Canadian hybrid electric boat, a lithium-ion-powered boat approved in Canada to carry more than 12 passengers. The Alutasi was converted from diesel to hybrid electric by Glas Ocean Electric.  What’s significant about this boat is it carries over 12 passengers, and that’s a rating with Transport Canada that requires significantly more safety to be involved. Smaller recreational electric boats do exist in Canada, but Sue Molloy, the CEO of Glas Ocean Electric, is excited about the potential for this boat. It will be used for deep-sea fishing tours offered out of Halifax harbour.
