Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR) has advanced its Electric Representative Training Program across Nautical Ventures' Florida dealership network, marking a significant step in promoting electric marine propulsion technology. The program has completed its initial phase with trained Electric Representatives now available at key locations to provide expert guidance on the company's proprietary E-Motion™ 180E, recognized as the first certified 180 HP continuous electric outboard.
The expansion of this training initiative demonstrates the growing market acceptance of electric marine technology and addresses the critical need for consumer education in transitioning from traditional combustion engines to sustainable alternatives. Vision Marine has already delivered two E-Motion 180E-equipped boats, with additional integrations scheduled for delivery in the coming weeks, confirming active production capabilities.
CEO Alexandre Mongeon emphasized that the program combines comprehensive education with real-world experience to support broader adoption of electric boating technology. The company is now launching on-water training sessions and customer demonstrations, providing potential buyers with hands-on experience of electric marine propulsion systems. Multiple Vision electric boats are currently in stock at Nautical Ventures' east and west coast showrooms, available for immediate delivery to customers.
This development is significant as it represents the maturation of electric marine technology from concept to commercial reality, with established training protocols and retail availability. The program's expansion through Nautical Ventures' nine-location retail and service network in Florida creates a comprehensive ecosystem for electric boating, combining proprietary engineering with direct-to-consumer sales and after-sales support.
