VISION MARINE 180E ELECTRIC OUTBOARD

Vision Marine Technologies touts its E-Motion 180E as the world’s most powerful electric outboard. The motor is powered by a 60 kW lithium battery and generates power equivalent to a 180 hp gas outboard, according to the company. Using a gear case from a Tohatsu 140 hp outboard, the 180E propulsion system is designed for boats in the 18- to 30-foot range (with a single motor) and can cruise for about three to four hours at 20 mph before needing a recharge. The battery requires eight to 10 hours to fully charge once drained. $78,990 for the system; visionmarinetechnologies.com
