[Electric Boats] Re: Problems with Electric Marine Propulsion Inc.

 

The common element in these reports?

Both outfits prone to quite a lot of hyperbole - just like the rest of the EV industry (eestor anyone?)

Vendors need to stick with realistic options, backed by customer testimonials - not sticking 6HP motors and 4 batteries on 47 foot, 11-ton yachts and calling it electric propulsion (plenty of other recent examples in the 3HP range...) Might as well be using trolling motors for all the good those would be in a pinch.

And don't get me started (again) on regen...

The problem is this industry is a lot like selling antiques. The barrier to entry is low, the market is small and the buyers are cheap -- so no one makes any money.
