Axopar launches fully electric AX/E sub-brand, powered by Evoy’s advanced motor systems, charting a new course for sustainable adventure boating.

Evoy electric propulsion systems has partnered with Axopar, the Finnish adventure boat company, to launch the AX/E sub-brand of fully electric adventure boats. The AX/E line debuted at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024, setting a new benchmark for sustainable, performance boating.

Within the AX/E line are two series-production electric boat models: the AX/E 22 powered by an Evoy Outboard Breeze 120+ hp motor system and the AX/E 25 powered by an Evoy Storm 300+ hp motor system.

“Our collaboration with Axopar on the AX/E line brings our vision of ‘irresistible boating’ to life, delivering an electric experience so thrilling that heading back out on the water becomes a must,” says Leif Stavøstrand, CEO of Evoy.

“Axopar, the innovators of adventure boating, have set the standard in this segment. Together, we’re showing that electric boating can provide the performance, excitement, and sustainability adventure boaters demand,” adds Stavøstrand.

Jan-Erik Viitala, Founding Partner at Axopar Boats, says: “Throughout this journey, Evoy has proven to be an ideal partner for Axopar.

“Together with Evoy, our mission is to inspire and drive a broader movement towards electric boating, encouraging other manufacturers to embrace electric propulsion and scale it into full serial production.

“We believe that electrification will evolve progressively, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of this transformation.”

 

Introducing AX/E: a bold step into electric adventure boating

The AX/E 22 and AX/E 25 combine Axopar’s modular design with Evoy’s advanced electric propulsion technology, delivering emission-free boating without compromise. Evoy has brought forward two powerhouse options for the AX/E series:

AX/E 22: Equipped with Evoy’s Outboard Breeze 120+ hp motor system and a 63-kWh battery pack, this model delivers a thrilling top speed of 36 knots with a range of over 50 nautical miles on a single charge at slower speeds — ideal for day trips along the coast.

Optimised for both high-speed performance and slower cruising for extended range, the AX/E 22 is designed for those who seek excitement without sacrificing sustainability. The advanced 63-kWh battery system ensures optimal energy efficiency and quick recharging, allowing for more time on the water.

AX/E 25: The larger AX/E 25 is powered by Evoy’s Outboard Storm 300+ hp electric motor system supported by a 126-kWh dual battery configuration. This combination pushes the boat to impressive speeds of over 50 knots, with a range of up to 60 nautical miles at slower speeds.

The 126-kWh dual-battery setup provides longer cruising times and faster recharging. Whether you’re exploring near shore or venturing out into the open sea, this boat delivers impressive acceleration and range, allowing you to push the limits of your adventure in a high-performance, zero-emission alternative to traditional powerboats.

The AX/E 25 Prototype won the 2023 Gussies Award in the Production Electric Boats: Up to 8-metre/26-foot category and was described as, “One of the rare electric boats that you can take outside of sheltered waters due to its hull design, drivability, and impressive hull efficiency enabling higher speed and extended range with less engine power.”

 

Why go electric with AX/E?

AX/E goes beyond sustainability, offering boaters a deeper connection to the water and the environment they love. With whisper-quiet operation, instant torque, and continuous power from its electric motors, AX/E provides a powerful yet serene boating experience. This innovative approach allows boaters to enjoy their surroundings without disrupting or harming the natural world they seek to explore.

Fast charging technology and real-time monitoring systems ensure that AX/E models are as reliable as they are smart, with over-the-air updates continually enhancing performance. AX/E takes electric boating beyond sheltered waters, making seaworthy, high-performance electric boats a reality.

“Ten years ago, when we launched Axopar, our vision was to revolutionise the market with something genuinely unique,” says Jan-Erik Viitala, Head of Innovation and Founding Partner of Axopar.

“With AX/E, we’re advancing that mission by offering a new, sustainable way to experience the water, without compromise. AX/E goes beyond electric propulsion; it’s about creating lasting memories and setting the course for the future of electric boating.

“Thanks to our collaboration with Evoy, we’ve elevated this vision, seamlessly merging high- performance with sustainability to deliver the best of both worlds.”
