⚡ Torqeedo Electric Outboards – Power, Efficiency & Innovation

Experience the future of marine propulsion with Torqeedo Electric Outboards, the global leader in efficient, high-performance electric drive systems. Unlike traditional petrol outboards that rely on shaft power ratings, Torqeedo Electric Outboards focus on propulsive power — the actual performance delivered by the motor to move your boat, taking all system losses into account. This results in superior efficiency, greater range, and clean, quiet operation on the water.

⚙️ Understanding Power: Propulsive vs Shaft Power

The concept of standardised power ratings dates back to James Watt in the 18th century, but not all power measurements are equal. Most conventional petrol and electric outboard motors list shaft power or input power, which do not account for propeller losses that can range from 30% to 80%.

Torqeedo Electric Outboards use propulsive power — the same method used in commercial shipping for nearly 100 years — to show the true performance of the motor. For example, a 4 HP petrol outboard may only deliver 1 HP in actual propulsive power, while Torqeedo drives achieve maximum real-world thrust and speed from significantly lower shaft power.

🚤 Why Torqeedo Electric Outboards Outperform Petrol Engines

Electric motors have flatter torque curves compared to combustion engines, which rely on narrow RPM peaks to deliver torque. This characteristic allows Torqeedo Electric Outboards to operate high-efficiency propellers, achieving up to three times higher propeller efficiency than petrol outboards in lower horsepower classes.

This means a Torqeedo 3 HP equivalent model delivers the same propulsive power as a 3 HP petrol outboard — while consuming less energy and producing zero emissions. Every Torqeedo Electric Outboard converts available battery power into propulsive power more efficiently than any other outboard on the market.
