Electric: now or never! Here’s how much you pay with the eco-incentive (until Oct. 1)

The boating world is changing course, and thanks to eco-incentives extended until October 1, 2025, the electric revolution is finally within everyone’s reach like never before. It is no longer just a dream for a few enthusiasts: now anyone can choose to sail while respecting the sea, cutting costs and complications without sacrificing power and autonomy.

The advantages of having an electric outboard

Imagine an outboard for tenders as well as small boats that starts at the first touch, quiet, clean, and allows you to cross protected bays without disturbing the peace or wildlife. Practical and lightweight, you can lift it easily and, thanks to the latest technology, even recharge it via your boat’s solar panel. Translated: goodbye inconvenient refueling, emissions, gasoline slicks and unpleasant odors.

Electric outboard motors are now a viable alternative to thermal ones, both for the tender and for small boats: compact and lightweight structures, intuitive and essential controls, and above all none of the classic hassles of thermal engines. No more changing oil, cleaning filters, or dealing with expensive overhauls: electric eliminates jams and mechanical problems.

Up to 8,000 off until Oct. 1

And then there is the real benefit of the moment (until October 1, 2025). Those who choose electric can take advantage of eco-incentives and get a grant of up to 50 percent of eligible expenses. For outboards equipped with an integrated battery of not less than 0.5 Kw and up to 12 Kw is 2,000 euros, while for those outboards with an external battery, inboard, inboard-outboard or propulsion POD is 10,000 euros. The ceiling is 8,000 euros in case the application comes from an individual and up to 50,000 euros in case of a company. The incentives have been extended, but they do not last forever, so this may really be the last chance to “get on board” and refresh the propulsion on board.
