Canton, GA – ePropulsion Americas, the global leader in marine electric propulsion systems and services, announced today it is increasing its capabilities to serve the OEM market with the expansion of its 96V product offerings. Building on the ePropulsion Smart System Architecture (eSSA), product introductions include the Pod Drive 20 eSSA, G102-230 battery and a comprehensive modularized energy system solution PowerCruise Essential for small electric and hybrid vessels. The model year 2025 offerings were on display at METSTRADE in Amsterdam, November 19-21, 2024.

“Following the success of our X-Series and I-Series motors and the G102-100 battery, and based on discussions with our boat builder partners, we have enhanced our existing product offerings,” said Danny Tao, Co-founder and CEO of ePropulsion. “We have prioritized our product innovation and increased our R&D efforts to better serve our partners in the development of future boat design. We want to create a one-stop shop for our partners without multiple vendors to manage. All of our products are thoroughly tested, and the plug-and-play designs ensure straightforward installation and seamless integration as a total system based on our advanced system architecture. This opens up new design possibilities for naval architects, setting a fresh standard in marine innovation.”

The Pod Drive 20 eSSA brings on board a new level of luxury and sophistication. It combines the motor, propeller and cooling system into one sleek, compact unit that mounts beneath the hull. By eliminating the need for bulky inboard engines and complex shaft lines, it frees up valuable interior space. It is designed for ultimate flexibility, featuring straightforward installation and versatile mounting options compatible with various vessel types. It easily fits onto any Volvo or Yanmar sail drive mounting, saving time and ensuring a seamless integration, ideal for elevating any design with minimal effort.

The new G102-230 battery has a capacity of 23kWh, supports 3,500 cycles at 80% DOD, and up to eight units can be connected in parallel. It can power the 96V 10kW to 40kW ePropulsion motors including the X- and I-Series, as well as Pod Drive eSSA Series. The built-in intelligent battery management system (BMS) is applied to provide maximum safety for the users. Its slim battery design optimizes under-boat or seat storage, ideal for space-saving on any vessel. 

PowerCruise Essential is a comprehensive modularized energy system solution developed by ePropulsion for electric and hybrid vessels. The solution can work with all the ePropulsion 96V eSSA products including the I-Series inboard, X Series outboard and Pod Drive eSSA Series. Able to be installed in a variety of configurations, the system can offer different functions like automatic power management, hybrid control and can supply the vessel with different AC or DC power needs.
