Electric Outboard Rundown

🌊 Electric Outboard Rundown

If you’re thinking about ditching gas for your next outboard, you’re no longer choosing between one or two niche brands. There’s now a full spectrum of electric outboards—from 3-hp tender motors to 300-hp monsters capable of 50 knots+.

1. Portable & Tender-Class Electric Outboards

Up to ≈3–4 hp equivalent – ideal for dinghies, inflatables, and daysailers.

• Torqeedo Travel 1103 C (≈3 hp)
  One of the benchmark portable electrics: 1,100 W input, 915 Wh integrated battery, and about 3 hp equivalent at the prop. Quiet direct drive, built-in GPS, and range calculator. Link

• ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 Evo (≈3 hp)
  A 1 kW motor with a 1,276 Wh battery, popular on 10 ft tenders and small sailboats. The Evo version adds hydrogeneration, so you can recharge while sailing. Link

• Mercury Avator 7.5e (≈3.5 hp)
  Mercury’s first production electric outboard: 750 W at the prop, modular click-in battery, and performance similar to a 3.5 hp gas engine. Big OEM name, very “dealer-friendly” for new buyers. Link

• Remigo One (≈3 hp)
  All-in-one, “rudder-shaped” outboard with built-in 1 kW motor and battery, around 3 hp equivalent. Very light, simple to mount, and tested to about 5–7 knots depending on hull. Link

• TEMO·1000 (≈3 hp)
  Stick-style ultra-portable motor: a 1,000–1,100 W unit that can push a six-person dinghy or small sailboat up to ~8 m. Great for people who want something that stores easily in a locker. Link

• Haswing Ultima 3.0 (≈3–4 hp equivalent)
  Integrated lithium battery, up to ~3 hp thrust equivalent (Haswing markets it as comparable to a 4 hp petrol outboard). Lightweight, targeting tenders and small yachts. Link

• ThrustMe Kicker (≈2–3 hp equivalent)
  Norwegian micro-outboard with a 1 kW motor and a tiny 260 Wh integrated battery, just 4.7 kg total. Designed to be as compact as possible for short-range tender duty. Link

2. Small–Mid Power Electric Outboards

Roughly 6–25 hp equivalent – for bigger daysailers, pontoons, and small planing hulls.

• Torqeedo Cruise 6.0 (≈9.9 hp)
  6,000 W input, rated as ~9.9 hp equivalent for boats up to about 6 tonnes. Common on rental fleets and workboats; many installations pair it with Torqeedo’s Power 48-5000 battery. Link

• ePropulsion Navy 6.0 Evo (≈9.9 hp)
  6 kW outboard with hydrogeneration and a robust aluminum leg, aimed at aluminum fishing boats, RIBs, and displacement boats up to ~6,000 kg. Link

• Mercury Avator 35e (≈9.9 hp)
  Mid-power Avator with a modular battery system. Mercury cites longer runtime (with dual 2,300 Wh packs) versus a comparable 5 kWh setup, and noise levels far below a 6 hp four-stroke. Link

• Elco EP-20 (≈20 hp)
  A “true 20 hp” electric outboard with about 8.4 kW output, often used on pontoons and small cruisers. Elco has been doing electric propulsion since the 1890s and leans into simple, rugged designs. Link

• Aquamot Trend 8.0 (≈20 hp class)
  Austrian-built 8 kW outboard, typically spec’d for boats up to ~4 tonnes. Aquamot’s Trend line spans roughly 3.5–45 hp-equivalent outputs and is well established in Europe. Link

• RAD Propulsion RAD 40 (≈60 hp)
  40 kW continuous outboard (~55–60 hp equivalent) with 400 V architecture, fast charging, and 180° integrated electric steering. Aimed at premium leisure and commercial boats that want maximum maneuverability. Link

3. High-Power & Performance Electric Outboards

40–300+ hp equivalent – for fast planing hulls, commercial use, and “wow factor.”

• Torqeedo Deep Blue 50 R (≈80 hp)
  High-voltage 50 kW system (≈80 hp) designed as a fully integrated package—motor, high-voltage batteries, chargers, and controls. Deep Blue is widely used on water taxis, coach boats, and commercial craft that run long hours. Link 

• Evoy Storm 300+ (≈300 hp, 450 kW peak)
  One of the most powerful production electric outboards on the planet: nominal 225 kW with up to 450 kW peak, typically paired with twin 63 kWh batteries. Sea trials on suitable 25 ft hulls have topped 50 knots. Link

• Flux Marine FM70 / FM100 (70–100 hp continuous)
  North American-built outboards designed from the ground up as electric—15, 40, 70 and 100 hp models. The FM100 delivers up to 100 hp continuous with higher peak power, and is already being offered as OEM power on boats like the Scout 215 and Highfield Sport 660. Link

• ACEL Electric Outboards (50–250 hp)
  ACEL’s line runs from 50 and 75 hp systems up through IE 150 and IE 250. The IE 150 can peak at 200 hp and the IE 250 at about 350 hp during acceleration on an 800 V SiC platform with high quoted powertrain efficiency. ACEL is positioning these as “intelligent electric” replacements for mid- to high-power gas outboards. Link
