====== Information / Forums ====== * http://www.electricseas.org/ ====== Power Ratings ====== According to THOOSA's documentation, the following is true: * 5kW ~= 10-15HP (48V/125A @86% efficiency DC motor) * 6kW ~= 12-18HP (48V/140A @88%) * 7kW ~= 17-25HP (48V/160A @93%) === From another source: === * 1HP = 746 Watts If we go based on the assumption for specifying diesel engines for displacement boats, it's 2HP per Ton. My boat is ~5.5 tons (11,000lbs). * ICE need: 11HP minimum, lets round up to 12HP * 12HP * 746W = 8952 = 9kW -- this seems to conflict with THOOSA ====== Unchecked Links ====== JVV pointing me towards electric repower * http://biankablog.blogspot.com/search/label/electric%20propulsion * http://boatbits.blogspot.com/search/label/Electric%20propulsion * http://www.electricyacht.com/ * http://www.thunderstruck-ev.com/index.php?dispatch=categories.view&category_id=34 ====== Vendors ====== * http://www.c-e-marineamericas.com/ * http://www.electricyacht.com/ * http://www.mastervolt.com/marine/products/e-propulsion/ * http://www.electricseas.org/
