The profitability of an electric motor is achieved within a period of less than 7 years (subsidies not included). This can be achieved by amortizing savings in fuel and maintenance costs compared to a combustion engine. The return on investment will depend on the use of the boat and the specific operating conditions.

Electric motors are very reliable, so repairs are very rare. However, when they do exist, they often require the intervention of specialists to diagnose and resolve problems. The repair of an electric boat motor is generally done in your usual shipyard, with the intervention of Weenav teams depending on the nature of the failure.

Weenav offers a Garmin energy management system, allowing total controlability of energy management and each component of each subsystem.

Around €500 for every 20,000 hours of navigation. This is a general estimate of the maintenance cost for an electric boat motor. This amount may vary depending on engine specifications, operating conditions, and labor rates in your region.

Weenav engines are known for their quiet operation, which contributes significantly to reducing noise pollution. This characteristic is essential for maintaining the tranquility of marine environments and minimizing impacts on sensitive aquatic fauna. Indeed, silence promotes communication between species, prevents behavioral changes, limits physiological stress, physical damage and the impact on the food chain of the marine ecosystem.

At Weenav, we start with a feasibility analysis to offer you a commercial offer. Then, we assist you in the search for funding and grants. Once this step has been validated, we begin the certification and in-depth study of the system, including battery sizing and carbon balance analysis. After this study, we design the engine and perform tests on the test bench before installing the system in your usual shipyard.

The installation of an electric motor is done by authorized shipyards, specially qualified to work with high voltage systems. This guarantees compliance with safety standards and regulations in force. It is therefore essential that this installation be carried out by experienced professionals in order to ensure safety and compliance with technical standards.

Zero-interest loans are available through sector-specific organizations. We can put you in touch with them. Banks also offer financing options, but with more traditional rates.

The maintenance manual will be supplied with the complete electric motor system when installed. This will allow you to have all the information you need to ensure proper maintenance and extend the life of your electric boat motor.

The torque of electric motors is more powerful than that of internal combustion engines, which allows them to adapt effectively to all navigation conditions. This characteristic is particularly useful in dealing with strong currents, variable weather conditions, and specific propulsion requirements at sea. However, you must learn to use the engine carefully to avoid being surprised by its powerful propulsion.

Yes, our electric motors are designed for use at sea and are therefore durable. They are certified waterproof and resistant to salt spray, which extends their lifespan. Engines can last up to 100,000 hours, subject to regular and proper maintenance.

The charging time of an electric boat motor varies according to the type of plug used. At a fast charging station, charging takes a maximum of 1 hour. On the other hand, on a conventional outlet, such as the one often available in a berth, recharging may require overnight, or about 12 hours, depending on the number of batteries to be recharged and their capacity.

The autonomy of an electric motor varies according to the size of your boat and the power required. If you need more power, battery life will be more limited. A prior evaluation of your boat will allow you to obtain more accurate information. For personalized details, we invite you to contact us directly.

Boating at night can be more enjoyable with an electric motor because of its quiet operation that reduces noise distractions. This allows for a more peaceful and secure experience, without disturbing the nocturnal tranquility or the surrounding marine wildlife.

New propulsion technologies start with the improvement of LFP batteries with ultra-stable chemistry allowing 6000 charge/discharge cycles against 1200 previously. Our MSAP motor (Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor) is approaching perfection in terms of efficiency thanks to recent technological advances. The energy management system that we have specially developed with Garmin to meet maximum needs is also a new technology proposed. Being able to recycle components is also a real advance in reducing the environmental impact of your navigation. Finally, fast charging technology is also a novelty in the world of electric boating.

Professionals report positive feedback on the use of electric motors, highlighting their low maintenance costs, increased reliability, and reduced environmental impact. They also appreciate the quiet operation and consistent performance of electric motors.

They offer a peaceful and environmentally friendly sailing experience, perfectly suited to leisure activities such as fishing, sea walking, or boating.

The future of electric boat motors is mainly focused on the evolution of batteries. Expected advances include an increase in the number of charge/discharge cycles, increased energy density, which will reduce weight, congestion while increasing the autonomy of electric boats and the possibilities of recycling them. These improvements will allow better adaptability to various maritime applications and a significant reduction in the environmental footprint of ships.

The advanced technologies used in electric motors are high-performance permanent magnets, vector control and oriented flow controls (FOC), advanced sensors, variable frequency drive (VFD), improved cooling, monitoring and self-diagnosis systems, modeling and simulation, modeling and simulation, modeling and simulation, compact optimized coil technology, compact optimized coil technology, optimized compact coil technology, cooling at the core of the rotor optimizing efficiency as well as the development of the dashboard with a connection of information between them.

Electric motors reduce CO2 emissions by completely eliminating the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the combustion of fossil fuels. By using electricity, which is often produced from renewable sources, they minimize their overall environmental impact. Thus, electric motors play a crucial role in the transition to more sustainable and climate-friendly navigation.
