EMO Electric

In recent years, the boating community has seen a major shift toward clean, sustainable propulsion, and at the forefront of this transformation are electric outboard motors . As more boaters consider upgrading from traditional gas engines, a common question arises: How efficient are electric outboard motors compared to gas? The answer lies in understanding energy conversion, performance, and real-world usability. Let’s explore why electric systems, such as the Momentum M10 and Remigo electric outboard , are redefining what efficient boating truly means. 1. Energy Efficiency: Electric vs. Gas Gas engines lose a significant portion of their energy through heat and mechanical friction, typically operating at 25–30% efficiency . In contrast, electric outboard motors convert 85–90% of electrical energy into thrust. This means more of the power you draw from your battery actually moves your boat forward. Models like the Momentum M10 and EPropulsion outboard motors exemplify this efficie...
