How long can I cruise on an electric motor? Real-world tests
This is one of the most common questions asked by anyone considering an electric motor: “How long will the battery last?”, “How many kilometers can I cover?”. And these are very good questions, because with electric propulsion, we don't talk about fuel consumption in liters, but about energy consumption in kW and running time. Fortunately, this can be predicted very accurately – much more accurately than fuel consumption in a combustion engine. In this article, I will share real-world tests on boats equipped with ePropulsion motors and G102-100 as well as G102-230 batteries, so you can see what it looks like in practice, not just in a brochure.

Which boat motor is better - gas or electric? A practical comparison
Buying a boat is exciting. But choosing an engine is a purely practical decision. More and more people today are wondering: should I choose a traditional combustion engine or a modern electric drive? Based on our experience with ePropulsion electric systems, in particular the X series, I series, and eSSA POD systems - let's compare both solutions in a way that is truly interesting to future boat owners.

What motor should you choose for navigating in quiet zones?
Navigating in quiet zones is becoming increasingly popular - among both recreational sailors and motor yacht owners. In Poland, the number of water bodies where combustion engines are prohibited is growing, necessitating the use of quiet and zero-emission electric propulsion systems.

Hydrogeneration - recovering energy from water
Hydrogeneration is a breakthrough technology that enables electric propulsion to function as a generator. When the boat is in motion, water flow drives the motor, which produces energy, charging the batteries without any external power supply.

How to Choose the Right Shaft (Leg) Length for Your Boat?
Selecting an electric outboard motor with the appropriate power is only part of the success equation. An equally important, yet often underestimated element of configuration is choosing the correct motor shaft length. For the ePropulsion X-Series (X12, X20, X40) - advanced 96V DC motors - the proper leg length directly translates to operational efficiency, maneuvering comfort, and safety.
