ePropulsion Celebrates 10 Years

The company ePropulsion, a global leader and market challenger in marine electric propulsion systems and services, is celebrating 10 years of innovation and growth in the field of electric propulsion. This milestone was marked with the announcement of the expansion of its sales team, new facilities and headquarters, and a reflection on a decade of award-winning product development.

Following on the successful 2021 release of the ePropulsion Evo Series of electric outboards, this year ePropulsion launched the H-100 and I-Series electric inboard engines. To support the continuous expansion of ePropulsion’s product line and business, Jasper Cheng was hired to manage overseas sales as overseas sales director. His responsibilities at ePropulsion cover overseas channel sales management and customer success management.

Embracing the new decade, ePropulsion officially moved into its new corporate headquarters and factory on December 17. The new 10,000 square meter facility increases the company’s production capability to match explosive growth over the past several years.

The company has also renewed its commitment to sustainability initiatives, such as its partnership with SailGP. With a shared mission for more sustainability, ePropulsion worked in partnership with SailGP to provide 11 electric outboard motors for the league’s event support tenders in Season 2 and Season 3. In addition, both ePropulsion Spirit and Navy motors were selected to power support boats for SailGP Inspire, a community, education, and outreach initiative. During Season 2, ePropulsion supported SailGP to establish a comprehensive fleet monitoring program. The continuous partnership helped SailGP reduce its support boat fleet emissions by an average of 10% per event.

ePropulsion UK received the first MDL Green Innovator Award, presented at the second annual Green Tech Boat Show. The Show created the Green Innovator Award in 2022 to recognize the products and services at the show which are pioneering in sustainable innovation and design. ePropulsion was also awarded the Environmental Pioneer Annual Awards at the 2022 Asian Marine & Boating Awards event.

ePropulsion’s awards for product innovation include the German IF Design Award in 2015, the Deloitte-Hong Kong Technology Fast Company in 2019, Best Technology Innovation Award from the Shanghai International Boat Show in 2021, the Equipment Innovation of the Year category winner at the 2021 British Yachting Awards and the 2021 Innovation Award at the China Yacht Awards. To date, ePropulsion has nearly 100 patents and is currently applying for another 200.
