Vision Marine Technologies Conversion Kit with E-Motion 180E Outboard/ Powerpack

The Vision Marine E-Motion 180E Outboard + Powerpack is a zero-emission propulsion package designed to replace combustion outboards on commercial harbor craft. Built by Vision Marine Technologies, it delivers 180 hp (135 kW) of electric power with instant torque, quieter operation, and no tailpipe emissions making it ideal for ports, marinas, and coastal service. 

Configured with a 129 kWh lithium-ion battery, the Powerpack variant scales endurance for longer duty cycles while retaining the same responsive handling and low-vibration ride that electric drives are known for. It’s a practical path to electrification that keeps hulls in service and reduces fuel and maintenance overhead. 

Integration is straightforward: the outboard format minimizes hull changes, and the bundled powerpack simplifies installation and service. Operators gain predictable thrust for docking and maneuvering, less crew fatigue, and lower noise in sensitive waterways.

The E-Motion™ 180E is not just about power; it's about intelligent integration. The system includes high-quality throttle controls with forward, reverse, and neutral functionality, offering a 0-100% throttle range. Features like the built-in neutral position LED and clutch safety system button enhance user feedback and security, ensuring safe and efficient operation. Additionally, the system supports wireless updates, allowing for future enhancements and a seamless user experience.

This conversion kit is particularly advantageous for commercial operators and fleet owners looking to modernize their vessels. Eligible for substantial incentives under California's CORE Voucher Incentive Program, the E-Motion™ 180E offers a cost-effective solution for transitioning to electric propulsion. With its robust design, cutting-edge technology, and commitment to sustainability, the E-Motion™ 180E is poised to revolutionize the boating industry.
