(NASDAQ:VEEE), (\"Twin Vee\", \"our\" or the \"Company\"), a manufacturer of recreational and commercial power catamaran boats, today announced successful sea trials for its 28-foot electric-powered catamaran (280 Electric Video). \"We believe our dedicated design and engineering of our proprietary controller will be a game-changer when it comes to maximizing battery power and run times with marine EV propulsion,\" stated Joseph C.
