First Look: NZ’s Newest Electric Ferry Hits the Water ⚡ + Megawatt Charging! 🚤

We're taking NZ’s newest electric ferry for an exclusive tour of the vessel, inside, outside and on the water! 🚤 In this video you'll see: • Inside the battery room: explore the ferry’s 1,075 kWh battery, 4×300 kW electric motors, and Hamilton jets. • Check out the bridge for a behind-the-scenes look from the Captain's chair, including cameras, controls and passenger facilities for 200 people (plus bikes!). • Hitting the Waitematā Harbour during a test run to check out the ride & maneuverability, while a literal boatload of testers monitor the vessel's systems. • Visit the country's very first megawatt charger and see it in action at Half Moon Bay wharf to top up the ferry in minutes. It’s Auckland Transport’s first, fully battery-electric commuter ferry. It's a massive milestone for kiwi public transport and clean tech, but also a great taste of the future, right here in 2026. 🔔 Join us!
