Is the sharing economy the way forward?

Peter Karlsson from the Swedish Boat Union talks about why the sharing economy can be an opportunity for boat clubs to drive the development forward for an increased number of electric boats at the boat clubs.

Electric boats today are expensive and that several members share a boat and thus the cost can be a successful way to increase the number of electric boats in the clubs.

To increase the number of electric boats, we also need to have an electricity infrastructure, which is costly to build. Cooperation between pole suppliers, power companies, grid owners, etc. is very important to bring about these investments.
