00:00Though hovercrafts have been around for a minute, this new Ferrari-style hovercraft is the latest and greatest in its
00:07electric motor vehicle field.
00:09The 2023 Arosa Electric Hovercraft by Maryland-based company Von Mercier debuted at the 2023 DC Auto Show in January,
00:19has already received several orders, and the first models are set to be delivered in July.
00:24The hovercraft, whose base model's starting cost is $200,000, has customizable wooden decks, seats, and digital displays.
00:34Buyers also have a choice of battery options, which give drive times ranging from 90 to 180 minutes.
00:40Von Mercier explains that the low-profile body, aggressive front-end, and powerful side-thrust intakes make the Arosa the
00:48first truly modern hovercraft design,
00:51and that the vehicle can be plugged into any standard EV charger.
00:55According to SWNS, the electric powertrain greatly reduces noise, pollution, and maintenance compared to a fuel-driven hovercraft.

01:07and sea,
01:08this might be the tech you've been waiting for.
