The simple answer is because WaterCar has always been on the leading edge of technology! The whole world is going electric.

At present, outboard motor manufacturers are diligently working to create high-performance electric outboards. Although this is an emerging technology, there's intense competition to be the first to offer a high-horsepower electric outboard by early 2025. WaterCar is closely monitoring these advancements. As major OEMs finalize their testing and designs, the race tightens. WaterCar is poised and ready for this evolution; the moment an electric outboard is launched, inaddtion to our hybrid version already available, we will introduce the fully electric version of WaterCar-EV. We anticipate that by the end of 2023, WaterCar will offer a fully electric option.
