Sustainable boating is officially the way of the future, and forward-thinking boat builders are making sure to move to electric boats now to stay ahead of the competition and gain an advantage. This article covers what boat builders should look for when comparing electric boat propulsion systems, so that their investment in new electric tender or RIB ranges pays off.

Similar to other electric transport options, the range of an electric boat is always a key consideration, especially if there are limited charging options for you out on the water! This article covers electric boat range anxiety, and options to overcome potential range issues, so you can make the switch to electric with confidence.

Choosing the right electric boat battery is crucial as it is a costly and critical component that will impact your boat's performance. However, it can be an overwhelming decision since electric boats on the market employ a wide variety of rechargeable batteries.
