Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

It's demanding and the environment is a bit different.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

The thermal condition, the saltwater exposures, the safety standard.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

And we had to scale quickly in production.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

And the prototype is pretty easy to do.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

But moving into production, it's a different ballgame.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

That's what we had focused over the past three years by working with McLaren, Linamar and also BRP, Bombardier.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

So that was the most challenging part.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

And this is where we are.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

So we were also have to navigate it into an immature supply chain and higher voltage marine space.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

As you mentioned, you only were seeing small trolling motors of 48 or 36 volt.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

We have a 700-volt architecture.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

So we went from a prototype phase as the years 2018-19 to a production phase, and we are delivering system as we speak.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

But the focus today is discipline, execution, and controlling costs and ensuring reliability and scaling production with our demand and our dealership network.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

The technology is there.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

It's not a prototype, and now we're scaling production.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

Well, we see the marine electrification following the car or the automotive industry.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

It's a gradual adoption.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

The acceleration and the economics, the user experience is aligning with what we do.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

The near term, the growth is driven by the demand and we are actually pushing pretty, I would say, heavily on presenting the product.

The Digital Executive
Alexandre Mongeon: Electric Boats Go Full Throttle | Ep 1242

And there's a demand for that.
