Vision Marine, manufacturer of marine propulsion systems, has expanded its partnership with Octillion Power Systems to produce Vision-branded high-voltage battery packs dedicated exclusively to the American market.
Under the terms of the agreement, Octillion will assemble Vision Marine’s new proprietary 45.36kWh battery packs at its facility in Nevada.
The enhanced partnership establishes a partial US supply chain for Vision Marine’s proprietary E-Motion 180E electric outboard system.
The batteries are designed to support both Vision Marine’s OEM integrations and direct-to-consumer electric boat sales, including those produced under formal production agreements with other boat builders.
“Octillion has been an integral technology partner to Vision Marine for several years, powering our most high-performance programs — including multiple electric world speed record boats,” explained Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine.
We are positioned to scale commercial deliveries and prepare for our next record-setting performance.

“With this expanded partnership and the support of Octillion’s Nevada facility, we are positioned to scale commercial deliveries and prepare for our next record-setting performance with more power and higher efficiency.”
Octillion Power Systems, headquartered in California, specialises in lithium-ion battery technology and has more than 2 million battery systems deployed across electric vehicles, industrial equipment, and energy storage sectors.
“Having collaborated with Vision Marine since 2021 on the development of this American-built, marine-dedicated battery platform has been both technically rewarding and strategically significant,” said Paul Beach, president of Octillion Power Systems.

“We are proud to manufacture these 45.36kWh packs at our Nevada facility and to work in close alignment with Vision Marine’s team as they scale delivery and continue to push the boundaries of electric propulsion on water.”
The battery systems being manufactured by Octillion are integrated with Vision Marine’s patent-pending proprietary high-voltage marine propulsion powertrain.
The packs will be available exclusively with the E-Motion 180E outboard and offered as part of a fully integrated, plug-and-play powertrain solution.
