Vision Marine Technologies new VoltX is expected to be available later in 2024.
The craft has been developed in-house to bring additional speed and performance levels to the company’s Volt 180 model with a maximum speed of 25mph and an autonomy of up to 60 miles.
It is the first model from the developer of the E-Motion electric outboard which combines Vision Marine’s experience in both boatbuilding and electric power train engineering.
The craft will be able to carry up to ten passengers and will mark the company’s 30th anniversary.
“This is a great boat for our 30th anniversary because we have put in all of our learning – boatbuilding, hulls, motors, batteries,” said Vision Marine Founder and CEO Alex Mongeon. “The hull is proven and improved, and it is all designed and built around the battery to make the ride perfect.”

He added: “It’s what people want in an electric boat today. Room to relax, good speed when you need it, and range. You can get about an hour and a half at 20-25 miles per hour, and a lot more time at slower speeds. You don’t have to change how you go boating. You can just enjoy.”
The VoltX uses a stepped down version of the E-Motion 180E system and has a power output of around 90hp (approximately 65 kw).
The E-Motion electric outboard, battery and all related systems are incorporated, with the hull designed so that the battery could be fully integrated and placed in the optimal position for efficiency and balance.
“The VoltX Launch Edition is a new offer, but not a new product,” explained Alex.
“We’ve sold over 300 of the original hull design, so it has been real life tested for years and years. What we have done is make it a bit lighter and combine it with all of the technology we have been working on for the past five years.”
