RICHMOND, Calif. - Octillion Power Systems, a California-based supplier of advanced high-density lithium-ion battery packs, has announced that it has expanded its existing partnership with Vision Marine Technologies Inc. to produce high-voltage lithium-ion battery packs for their marine propulsion systems from Octillion's Reno, Nevada manufacturing facility.
Under the terms of the agreement, Octillion will manufacture Vision-branded battery packs for their E-Motion 180E electric outboard system, exclusively for U.S. market distribution. These are believed to be the first-known battery packs created from the ground-up for electric marine propulsion, built to withstand harsh marine environments while delivering high energy density, durability, and ease-of-integration—making them well-suited for both commercial and recreational marine use.
Paul Beach, Global President of Octillion, said, "As Vision accelerates its growth in the U.S. market, we're excited to power their next chapter in performance electric boating by providing our battery technology and manufacturing expertise, producing from our Nevada facility. Our past collaborations included setting multiple electric world speed boat records, which demonstrated that high-performance engineering is in our collective DNA."
By accessing Octillion's battery technology leadership, Vision will gain fast and cost-efficient production and distribution, a secure and reliable U.S. battery supply chain, all reinforced by Octillion's trademark quality standards that have fielded over 2 million battery systems in 16 years of operating history. Furthermore, the new Vision-branded battery systems will benefit from important technological gains from their current product line, including: increased power, extended range, ease-of-integration, and total overall performance.
Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine Technologies, said, "Octillion is a world-class battery systems partner. From past collaborations, we've seen firsthand their ability to deliver on what matters most: integrity, quality, performance, and cost. Expanding our partnership provides direct access to Octillion's cutting-edge battery innovations. Manufacturing in Reno, Nevada further enables us to scale faster via a centrally located supply chain, ease of OEM integration, and in bringing our E-Motion™ electric outboard systems to a substantial consumer market in the States."
