X Shore's CEO Jenny Keisu said in a press release that the X Shore has a "remarkably low price point" to make electric boating competitive with those powered by fossil fuels.

The company aims to win a new generation of boat owners and show them that "electric boating is not just the future, but the present."

One of X Shore's other models is a $329,000 boat supposedly inspired by electric eels.

The boats will be built in Nyköping, Sweden using carbon fiber and come in two versions: Top or Open.
