In this episode of The Water Road we investigate the world of electric propulsion boats, with a visit to the Electrika boat show. We hear how the show came about, learn about the different types of hybrid systems, drill down into the green credentials, and discuss some of the challenges for the future. Guests include Rob Howdle and Caroline Badger from the boat builders, Ortomarine; Ricky Lee from Finesse Boats; and Matthew Symonds from the Canal and River Trust. Plus we hear from the owners of electric boats about life on board, including the crew of Tethys, stars of Channel 4's Narrow Escapes.

The Water Road is produced and presented by Adam Porter.
