ExploMar has opened its first overseas electric boating experience centre in Bangkok, Thailand.
Developed with local dealer Thai Maritec, the new centre gives visitors the chance to seviewe ExploMar’s high-performance electric outboards, take part in sea trials and learn more about the practical side of electric boating, including charging and energy management.
“We are building a global user perception network where electric boats are no longer just a trend, but are truly experienced, utilised and validated across different markets and real-world scenarios,” says ExploMar’s CEO Alex Dong.
“As global water mobility transitions toward low-carbon and intelligent solutions, this approach provides a clearer pathway for electric boats to move from being ‘understood’ to being ‘chosen’.”
First international location
Thailand was selected as the first international location because of its tourism, leisure and commercial boating activities and demand for lower-emission propulsion solutions.
“In Thailand, diverse water-use scenarios demand a careful balance of performance, range, energy supply, cost and environmental impact – driving growing interest in electric propulsion,” said Patarapol Koopitakachorn, managing director of Thai Maritec.
“ExploMar’s high-performance electric outboard systems provide a truly sustainable option for Thailand’s water transportation and tourism sectors by reducing emissions while enhancing control, onboard experience and overall cost efficiency.”
ExploMar already operates a similar sea trial and experience centre at Kuncheng Lake in Changshu, China, where systems are tested and demonstrated in operational conditions.
Thailand is the first step in expanding that model internationally, with further locations expected to follow in other regions.
