Electric Inside specializes in replacing gasoline and diesel engines with 100% zero-emission electric systems. Mainly in displacement boats, such as boats or sailboats.

A typical project to convert a boat of between 4 m and 12 m, sailing at about 6 knots, usually costs between €12,000 and €25,000, and largely depends on the capacity of the batteries to be installed.

In our projects, we recommend complementing the autonomy of the batteries with solar energy generation systems.

A real-life example of Llaut Pascual 27

  • We replaced a 6 hp Solé Diesel engine with a 5 kW Bellmarine inboard electric motor (equivalent to 10 hp diesel).

  • Batteries: 2 x 5,000 Wh Victron lithium.

    Electronics: Raymarine monitor integrated with Victron includes GPS and battery monitoring (charge status and remaining autonomy), speed and RPM.

  • Maximum speed 6 kt with flat sea. Cruising speed 4.5 kt.

    The recharge of the batteries can be done solar or by connecting to the current. A full charge by plugging to the current takes between 3 and 6 hours, and allows an range of:

    • More than 36 hours at 3 kt.

    • 18 hours at 4.5 kt.

    • 3 hours at 5.5 kt.

  • Solar kit with 6 flexible panels of 130 W generate peaks of approximately 780 Wh, so that they can easily recharge the consumption of a typical recreational outing of one or two hours of sailing.
