Electric innovations are flooding the market and boating is getting in on the action. An example is the 2023 Four Winns H2e. The H2e is the first, all-electric, series production bowrider on the market. There’s no doubt that it’s a fascinating achievement.

World’s Most Powerful Outboard Electric Powertrain

Let’s dive right into the Four Winns H2e electric powertrain. Powering the H2e is Vision Marine Technologies’ (VMT) E-Motion 180e electric outboard. It’s the first fully electric purpose-built outboard powertrain system that marries a battery pack, inverter, and motor with proprietary union assembly between the transmission and electric motor design utilizing extensive control software. Four Winns says it’s the world’s most powerful outboard electric powertrain. The outboard draws power from a 70kWh power bank. The batteries can charge via a fully integrated onboard charger. This means the H2e can plug into any dock shore power system. The H2e has a range of up to 120 miles. The helm station has a separate power source and does not affect the outboard’s power supply. Furthermore, Four Winns notes that the outboard provides 180 max horsepower. This helps to give the 22-foot, 4,870-pound H2e a top speed of approximately 40 mph. VMT says the E-Motion technology offers a 90 percent reduction in fuel and maintenance cost compared to an ICE engine, it has a high torque to horsepower ratio, it’s noiseless with minimal vibrations, and its odorless and smokeless.

About the 2023 Four Winns H2e Electric Bowrider

The 2023 Four Winns H2e electric bowrider has a ton of standard features. One of the many interesting items is a dual touchscreen smart digital display at the helm. This allows the boater direct connectivity to a cutting-edge navigation system, entertainment controls, and phone connection. Also, there’s also an automatic logbook that provides weather forecasts, battery status, security, and trip history. Moreover, it’s worth noting that the H2e’s smart digital display is the first-ever designed specifically for the marine industry. Furthermore, the boat can carry up to 10 occupants and it has a maximum capacity of 2,465 pounds. The standard equipment list of the H2e is lengthy and impressive. However, the H2e can be optioned with an LX Package or SLX Package, and both offer several handy upgrades. Finally, the 2023 Four Winns H2e has a base price of $189,600.
