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.
