A market to be conquered
Vision Marine Technologies designed and developed the components of the E-Motion engines and worked with strategic suppliers to have them manufactured, including a 700 volt lithium battery, power plant with potentiometer and charging system.
E-motion motors are not only much quieter and more polluting than heat engines, they are also much more economical to run, although they are 40% more expensive to buy than petrol engines.
“We chose to develop a 180hp engine because that is the average horsepower of the 330,000 outboards sold in the United States in 2020. The industry expects to sell 1.4 million outboard motors in 2025 because boaters no longer want bilge engines that take up a lot of space and are noisier,” stresses the CEO.
