A technical question, missing information, or simply curious?
How much does it cost to maintain an electric motor?
Around €500 for every 20,000 hours of navigation. This is a general estimate of the maintenance cost for an electric boat motor. This amount may vary depending on the specifics of the engine, conditions of use, and local labor and spare parts rates.
What financing options are available for electric motors?
Zero-interest loans are available through sector-specific organizations. We can put you in touch with them. Banks also offer financing options, but with more traditional rates.
What is the cost of converting a combustion engine into an electric motor (Retrofit)?
The cost of retrofitting a boat varies according to the size of the boat, the power of the electric motor chosen and the desired autonomy. The price of the electric motor can be between €36,500 and €89,900, depending on the type of motor, to which must be added the cost of the necessary batteries. These prices may also vary depending on the technical specifications and options chosen for your conversion to an electric motor and the price of batteries on the market at the time of purchase.
What are the ecological advantages of electric motors?
Electric motors offer undeniable ecological advantages by reducing local emissions of exhaust gases and particulates, by reducing the carbon footprint through the use of renewable electricity, and by minimizing noise pollution, thus maintaining marine ecosystems. Their design with fewer moving parts and simplified maintenance also contributes to reducing the overall environmental impact while meeting strict environmental standards.
