Industry News: Electric Outboard Roundup
In the world of electric outboards there are many brands out there to sift through, not to mention features to consider. Here we list some of the best new features regarding electric outboards from some of the top brands working to stay ahead of the pack.
ePropulsion debuts the eLite Long Shaft Electric Outboard
ePropulsion Americas, a market leader in marine electric propulsion, builds on the success of the initial launch of the eLite platform with the new and improved eLite Long Shaft. This model is the perfect power option for drift boats and inflatable fishing boats with transoms over 15 inches.
The eLite’s direct-drive motor and advanced design propeller deliver high efficiency with near-silent operation.
With a focus on minimal maintenance and cutting-edge technology, this addition to the ePropulsion range raises the bar in electric boating standards. Its Battery Monitoring System (BMS) efficiently optimizes performance, carefully regulating battery level, temperature, and remaining State-of-Charge—all displayed on an ultra-simple interface. This ultimately leads to an extended range, more energy-efficient operation, and longer battery life.
In addition, the mounting bracket was re-engineered and upgraded for the eLite Long Shaft. The device now has an enhanced bracket mechanism, both more durable and easier to use.
