ENVGO to showcase NV1 Prototype in Ontario This Spring and Summer

ENVGO NV1 Prototype

May 22, 2025

Canadian company ENVGO has announced that it will showcase its NV1 electric hydrofoil prototype at two events in Ontario this year.

The NV1 prototype will appear at Charge Ahead, an electric vehicle and charging event in Bracebridge on May 31.

It will also be showcased at Green Innovation Weekend in Orillia on July 26 and 27, along with an array of sustainable solutions and technologies.

NV1 utilizes state-of-the-art hydrofoil technology to significantly increase the power and range of its electric motor by reducing drag through the water. As well as reducing emissions from internal combustion engines, it also reduces shoreline erosion and environmental damage from wake.

“We built this boat for inland lakes and cottage country,” ENVGO Vice President of Business Pete Keller said. “This can bring back the serenity to people’s cottages.”

ENVGO is currently taking reservations for NV1 with a refundable $1,000 USD deposit. And according to Keller, spaces are filling up.

“We wanted to build something that we thought was cool, that we would really enjoy boating, and we’ve had great reactions and feedback from everybody that we show it to,” he said. “They absolutely love it.”

The Whitsunday Islands

By Mathew Channer

On my first day as a commercially registered yacht captain, I sailed a Fontaine Pajot 38 catamaran from mainland Australia across the Whitsunday Passage to the western shores of the world-famous Whitsunday islands.

We cruised northeast on a 15-knot beam reach… perfect catamaran sailing conditions, watching the hazy shapes of the islands colourize and morph into crescent beaches, jungled ridgelines and rocky outcrops.
