Stok Electric

Peter Donaldson launches an investigation into the conversion of classic leisure boat Mira to electric power Given proper care, boats can have very long working lives. At a time of rapid development in powertrain technology, therefore, older workboats, ferries, inspection vessels and leisure craft are potentially great candidates for conversion to electric power. This is the business that the Stokman brothers, Berend and Antonie, got into in 2020 when they formed Stok Electric.
