The Trusted Solution for Electric Propulsion
Elco, the original electric boat company, pioneered electric propulsion more than 130 years ago with 55 electric launches at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893. We reinvented it a century later with modern, efficient electric motors propelling our own line of fiberglass launches while also powering electric inboard and outboard boats of all shapes and sizes.
Elco continually leads the charge toward electric propulsion with award-winning innovation and patented designs that are compact, efficient, and reliable. Our battery flexible engineering leverages industry-leading technology, including new solid-state batteries that are half the weight and a third smaller than traditional wet-electrolyte lithium batteries. Elco’s unsurpassed integration connects to navigation displays as well as wireless and wearable screens.
Elco’s electric boat motors are more compact and powerful than ever. Today’s advanced batteries also pack more power per pound, extending range and enhancing performance. Going with Elco electric propulsion also brings practical benefits like zero exhaust emissions, intuitive operation, and greatly reduced noise, vibration, and maintenance, so right now is a great time to switch to clean, green electric propulsion.
