Epropulsion launches the first electric motor that recharges itself (the propeller becomes a hydrogenerator when not in operation). There will be seven Epropulsion Evo models equipped with this technology in 2021.

Outboard Dinghy or Pod Drive up to 9 horsepower: your boat’s auxiliary engines now recharge themselves. Epropulsion relies on self-charging electric motors that allow reverse charging of the motor battery, enabling charging while sailing (when the boat is propelled by another motor or wind) or towing at speeds between 4 and 10 knots.
Taking advantage of this technology will be ePropulsion’s Spirit and Navy product lines: the new models are the Spirit 1.0 EVO, Navy 3.0 EVO and Navy 6.0 EVO available from early 2021.

Now all outboards are built on a 48V platform, allowing more versatility. E-series batteries provide consistent performance, up to 3,000 charging cycles. The Spirit was the first commercially available floating battery.
The safety break is critical for safety, but in practical use many boaters find it inconvenient. Epropulsion replaces it with an armband that automatically shuts down the engine in the event of a man overboard. Up to 8 connections per motor will be available, completely wireless.
