Smart Boating 259 – Electric Boats
This show illuminates important qualities provided by electric boat.
EV Outboard Introduction
Earlier this month, Mercury Marine introduced a new electric outboard, the Avator 7.5e, at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada The new outboard will deliver similar acceleration and speed to the company’s established 3.5 four-stroke engine. Larger outboards, such as 20e and 35e models, will be released later in the year. If you’re interested in going electric on the water, the options are increasing at a rapid pace.
World’s Most Powerful Electric Outboard Launched
Envoy, a Norwegian company, recently announced the launch of an electric outboard designed to deliver the equivalent of power of a 150-hp gas powered model. Similar to engines in electric cars, this zero-emissions outboard will be both quiet and powerful, with the Envoy Pro delivering robust torque figures throughout the operational range. The purchase price is predicted to exceed that of an equivalent combustion engine, but overseas, the annual breakeven point in running costs is projected to be about 350 hours. It’s likely that this new outboard will be an indicator of things to come.
