Canadian based ACEL Power has officially entered the Spanish market with a partnership with Madrid-based boatbuilder Vector Náutico.
The partnership introduces a new MOLA-e powered by ACEL, a new line of electric boats designed for coastal and inland cruising and is said to be a key step in ACEL Power’s European expansion.
“We are excited to partner with Vector Náutico, an innovative builder committed to sustainability,” said Natasha Chawla, VP of sales and marketing at ACEL Power.
“The MOLA line aligns perfectly with our electric outboard motors 50hp and 75hp Intelligent Electric Series.
“These are powered by 32kWh and 43kWh LFP battery packs. These systems deliver high energy density, extended lifecycle, and enhanced thermal stability — offering zero-emission propulsion without compromising performance. They uniquely use electric outboard technology.”
Working with ACEL Power brings our vision for the next generation of electric boats to life.

Rus Kochman, CEO of Vector Náutico, added: “Working with ACEL Power brings our vision for the next generation of electric boats to life.
“The MOLA-e is elegant and efficient. It is built for modern boaters who value reliability and sustainability. The contribution of electric outboards cannot be overlooked in this regard.”
The MOLA is a 5.99-metre craft designed with optimised hull geometry to maximise range and handling.
Features include wide swim platforms for easy water access making the craft suitable for suitable for lake cruising, coastal exploration, and eco-tourism.
Two configurations are available – the ACEL 50hp with a 32kWh LFP battery or the ACEL 75hp with 43kWh LFP battery.
Both setups are fully integrated and engineered for zero-emission cruising, using an advanced electric outboard system.
The first MOLA units will debut in mid-2025, with sea trials and showcase events scheduled throughout Spain.
Formal Southeast Asia entry
In addition, ACEL Power has entered into a distribution agreement with Singapore-based En-Syst Equipment & Services Pte.
The partnership grants En-Syst distribution rights for Singapore and across select ASEAN markets, including Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
The collaboration marks ACEL Power’s formal entry into Southeast Asia’s marine electrification sector.
“This partnership with En-Syst is another major milestone for ACEL as we scale globally,” explained Natasha.
“With over three decades of experience powering mission-critical infrastructure across APAC, En-Syst is ideally positioned to bring our technology to market and help accelerate the shift to sustainable boating.”
En-Syst will distribute ACEL’s entire portfolio, the full Intelligent Electric Series, including 50hp, 75hp, 150hp, and 250hp outboards.
Our region is ready for a leap forward in digitalisation and electrification.

The motors deliver up to 95.8% powertrain efficiency, while the high-voltage LFP battery packs feature an expandable architecture that supports system scalability for extended range configurations.
Advanced software provides real-time diagnostics, remote monitoring, and performance optimisation.
In addition to outboards, ACEL’s offering extends to inboard propulsion systems and ACEL X-tend range extender, gas and diesel-powered generators for hybrid applications.
“We are excited to partner with ACEL Power to bring next-generation marine propulsion to Southeast Asia,” said Teo Han Leong, director of En-Syst.
“Our region is ready for a leap forward in digitalisation and electrification. From tourism and transport to utility vessels, the demand for cleaner and smarter marine solutions is rapidly growing.
“ACEL’s integrated system provides a reliable, software enabled platform that aligns with what our customers want today — and what regulations will require tomorrow.”
En-Syst will maintain local inventory, offer installation and technical support, deploy demo boats, and lead OEM activations and regional trade show initiatives to grow dealer and customer adoption.
