Electric Vehicles of America (EVA) has helped a number of people convert or build Electric Boats (displacement hulls) up to 40 ft in length. Electric Boats are designed for low speeds (~6 knots) because tremendous horsepower is required to get the vessel above hull speed. The advantage of an Electric Boat is its quietness and non-polluting aspect. One can get closer to wildlife or enjoy a sunset cruise while speaking normally.
EVA recommends conversion of pontoon boats because as trucks are to cars, pontoon
boats are to boats. Pontoon boats have the advantage of available space under the
seats for batteries. This also makes weight distribution easier. But unlike trucks,
pontoon boats use less energy (approximately half) than displacement hulls.
To help your EV project succeed from the start, EVA provides:
• Free Calculations based on your requirements. The calculations will identify the recommended hp, the voltage, current, and range based on a specific battery pack.
• Manufacturer's Data (Advanced DC Motors, Curtis Instruments, etc.) to help you understand the technical side of an EV conversion.
• A detailed System Quotation with each component itemized, so that the true cost is not hidden. If you do not need a specific component, you can simply delete its cost.
Once you buy our system, EVA provides:
• EV Installation Manual. This is a 1 inch manual identifying how to install each component.
• EVA "Safety First" Video. A 12 minute video showing how our truck was laid out to address safety issues. This was based on the “Safety First” technical paper.
• EVA S10 Conversion Video. This is a one hour video showing the conversion of our S-10.
• EVA Technical Assistance. After the sale, we still answer the phone. We are here to help you complete your EV and to help it run reliably.
