Calculated: battery capacity divided by listed ride time, from the specs in the table above. The Waydoo EVO Lite works out to 18.0 Wh per minute (1,800 Wh over 100 minutes). The LIFT5 works out to 24.4 Wh per minute (2,200 Wh over 90 minutes). A lower number means the listed ride time assumes less power drawn each minute. The manufacturers do not say their ride times were measured under the same conditions.

Ride time by manufacturer

Fliteboard lists no minutes for the Sport or Explore Flitecell. Its battery article says most eFoil batteries last 60 to 90 minutes under average conditions and the Nano up to 45 minutes (Fliteboard battery article).

Lift lists the LIFTX at up to 45 minutes on every board size (Lift LIFTX page). Calculated: a 90 minute session on a LIFTX takes two full charges. The cost page shows the price of a second battery.

Not confirmed

The LIFT5 F page says up to 90 minutes and the Lift home page says up to 75 minutes (Lift LIFT5 F page, Lift home page). Awake's XR 4 page lists an hour of ride time and e-surfer lists up to 120 minutes for the VINGA Carve (Awake XR 4 page, e-surfer comparison table). Lift lists the LIFTX battery at 1.0 kWh and e-surfer lists 0.9 kWh (Lift LIFTX page, e-surfer comparison table).
