Electric boat motors are 3 to 4 times more efficient than gas-powered engines. Although electric boats initially have a larger carbon footprint due to the batteries, they become net positive in terms of impact throughout a batteries life, and quicker with more use.

Additionally, the elimination of gas and other fluids keeps dangerous chemicals from leaking into the water or overflowing at the fuel dock. As the power grid becomes greener, this transition to a net positive impact will happen even faster. Charging your electric boat with renewable energy, like solar panels on your boathouse or covered dock, can further reduce its carbon footprint, making it an even more sustainable choice.
