A technical question, missing information, or simple curiosity?
What is the future development of electric motors for boats?
The future of electric boat motors is mainly focused on the evolution of batteries. Expected advances include an increase in the number of charge/discharge cycles, increased energy density, which will reduce weight, congestion while increasing the autonomy of electric boats and the possibilities of recycling them. These improvements will allow better adaptability to various maritime applications and a significant reduction in the environmental footprint of ships.
What are the new electric propulsion technologies?
New propulsion technologies start with the improvement of LFP batteries with an ultra-stable chemistry allowing 3500 charge/discharge cycles against 1200 previous.Our MSAP motor (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) is approaching perfection in terms of efficiency thanks to recent technological advances.The energy management system that we specially developed with Garmin to meet maximum needs is also a new proposed technology.The fact of being able to recycle components is also a new technology proposed. A real advanced technology to reduce the environmental impact of your navigation.Finally, fast charging technology is also a novelty in the world of electric boating.
How do electric motors affect sailing performance?
Electric motors positively influence navigation performance by offering instant acceleration, rapid response to commands, and high fuel efficiency. They also allow for precise maneuvering and increased reliability thanks to their simplified design and fewer moving parts.
What is the feedback from professionals using electric motors?
Professionals report positive feedback on the use of electric motors, highlighting their low maintenance costs, increased reliability, and reduced environmental impact. They also appreciate the quiet operation and consistent performance of electric motors.
Do electric motors reduce noise pollution?
Weenav engines are known for their quiet operation, which contributes significantly to reducing noise pollution. This characteristic is essential for maintaining the tranquility of marine environments and minimizing impacts on sensitive aquatic fauna. Indeed, silence promotes communication between species, prevents behavioral changes, limits physiological stress, physical damage and the impact on the marine ecosystem's food chain.
