Elephants dealt with, let’s move on.īut, before launching into this story, I thought to myself “What do most people really even know about electric powered vehicles, never mind electric powered boats?” Therefore I’m going to start with some basics, believing that unless one understands the terminology, one cannot appreciate the product and what that product can and cannot do.

I have been following electric vehicle development over the past decade, and ever since I picked up the book by Ashlee Vance about Elon Musk, I discovered that whoever you talk to, the first two issues of concern (our two elephants in the room) are “how far can I go on a full charge” and “where do I fill up when my fuel (batteries) get low?”īy the end of this article, those two elephants of concern will be reduced in size to a couple of wee mice in the room. These two elephants are “Range Anxiety” and “Fuel Filling”. In part one we will delve into the background of this phenomena and in part two we will look more closely at Kiwi companies who are at the forefront of this technology.įirst off, let’s address the two big elephants in the room when it comes to discussing electric propulsion, whether land based (electric vehicles) or water based (electric boats), which is the theme of this article. In the first of a two part series we look at the rapid evolution of the Inboard Electric Boat Propulsion phenomena in the recreational boating (and to a degree commercial) marine industry both here in New Zealand and overseas.
