Aqua superPower Installs First Marine Fast Charger in Southern California

Aqua superPower, the pioneering global network for marine fast charging, announced the installation and activation of Southern California’s first marine fast charger available to Aqua superPower members at Newport Beach’s premier marina.

The Aqua charger, capable of delivering up to 24 kW of power via the international CCS standard, is now operational at Marina Park. Designed specifically for the harsh marine environment, the unit ensures safe and reliable recharging for a wide range of electric vessels, from leisure craft to commercial operators. By supporting the transition to electric boating, the installation helps eliminate range anxiety and aligns with California’s clean energy mandates, contributing to a significant reduction in carbon emissions from recreational marine activity.

Newport Harbor is one of the largest recreational harbors in the United States and considered to be the jewel of Newport Beach. Last year, Newport Beach Harbor Department became the first the first public agency in the U.S. to add a boat powered entirely by electricity to its fleet of vehicles with a Vita workboat. The Vita boat qualified for a Clean Off-Road Equipment (CORE) voucher, so about half of what the city spent on it was refunded by the state.

Aqua superPower handles installation, maintenance and remote monitoring through its cloud-based Neptune platform. This deployment builds on the company’s expanding U.S. network, which already includes marine fast charge stations at Lake Tahoe, San Francisco Bay, Lake George and beyond, creating vital charging corridors for cross-waterway travel.

Aqua superPower’s global network now spans over 60 installations across Europe, North America, and beyond, with plans for further expansions in high-traffic coastal areas like San Diego and Santa Barbara.
