Vision Marine Technologies Reached New Milestone Achieved in Meeting Future Evolving HV Electric Boating Industry Standards - Test Cell Results

To accurately gauge the performance and efficiency of high-voltage electric outboards, Vision Marine and McLaren Engineering have developed a sophisticated test cell. This state-of-the-art test bed is designed to meticulously control various critical parameters such as electrical tension, water and air temperature, water flow and drainage, and propeller resistance. This is designed to provide a comprehensive and precise assessment of the powertrain system under conditions that mimic real-world usage.

"We are excited for Vision Marine on the conclusion of this system validation test," said Kevin Ledford, Global Vice President of Engineered Products for Linamar. "Our McLaren Engineering division has built a global reputation in the mobility markets for developing advanced propulsion system solutions. We utilized that expertise in collaboration with Vision Marine on this project to study the durability of their E-Motion product. With the test now successfully completed, Vision Marine has come another step closer to industrialization of their technology for the recreational marine market."

Drawing inspiration from the electric car industry, Vision Marine has established a new benchmark for measuring the maximum continuous power of its outboards. Tested the actual power at the propeller after 30 minutes of operation represents the maximum continuous power output. This method not only measures the actual power delivered to the propeller (which exceeds with ease the 180E's 180 hp) but also demonstrates an impressive efficiency of the electric motor and lower unit - 97% and 87% respectively. This achievement marks a significant milestone for the nautical electric industry, demonstrating the feasibility of accurately stating an outboard's power measured at the propeller after extended use offering clear real world usage expectations. Traditionally, the industry has relied on measuring the instantaneous electrical power input during the first 30 seconds or based on continuous power input.

"By adopting standards from the electric car industry and applying them to nautical electric propulsion, we are not only enhancing the transparency of our offerings but also showcasing the true power, potential and efficiency of our electric powertrain systems," said Xavier Montagne, CTO & COO of Vision Marine. "We are excited to lead the charge in establishing real power metrics that will benefit consumers and pave the way for a more sustainable and informed future in electric boating."

Vision Marine seeks to not just lead the way in electric propulsion, but to also reshape the industry's standards for the betterment of both consumers and manufacturers. By pioneering a new standard of transparency and reliability in how power is evaluated and communicated, Vision Marine hopes to set the stage for a rapidly evolving market. This leadership not only benefits the end users by ensuring they receive products that truly match their expectations but also aids manufacturers in adopting clear, honest practices that foster trust and growth. Through this approach, Vision Marine is accelerating the advancement and widespread adoption of electric boating, promoting a future where efficiency, performance, and environmental stewardship go hand in hand.
