Electric Drive Option

In the development of the IS525 a key aspect from the beginning was to be able to design the boat with the electric drive option.

The key to getting boats successfully to market with electric drive means that it needs to meet some very specific criteria:  first and foremost that it is affordable, second is that it is safe and reliable and finally is that it is functionally practical.

To meet these goals Group Island Spirit partnered with major system developers in the EV industry for the development of the drive system.  As we all know, fully electric vehicles are now available from every major automobile manufacturer and today there is over 400,000 EV buses in widespread use the globe. 

The technology has matured and our strategy is to leverage on this mature technology for the implementation into the IS525

In the development phase of the Island Spirit 525 we took into account designing for E-Drive from the very beginning. This covers many aspects of the design process including but not limited too: Minimize the vessel weight through the exclusive use of composites and not use heavy marine plywood in the build. Efficient hull design to minimize the power required to move the boat through the water. Utilize commercially available EV technology Design to over perform
