Electric boats are watercraft that are powered by electric motors instead of traditional internal combustion engines. They use electricity stored in batteries as their primary energy source, which can be recharged using shore power or, in some cases, solar panels. Electric boats offer advantages such as reduced noise, lower environmental impact, and minimized emissions compared to fossil fuel-powered alternatives. They are used for various purposes, including recreational boating, transportation, and commercial activities, and can vary in size and design, from small personal watercraft to larger vessels for passenger or cargo transport. The adoption of electric boats is part of a broader trend towards sustainable and eco-friendly maritime technologies.
