A bold step into the electric boat market
Axopar has launched the all-electric AX/E sub-brand, which is equipped with Evoy propulsion systems.
Ten years ago, when we launched Axopar, our vision was to revolutionize the market with something truly unique," says Jan-Erik Viitala, Chief Innovation Officer and co-founder of Axopar. "With AX/E, we are taking this vision further by offering a new, sustainable way to experience the water, without compromise. Thanks to our partnership with Evoy, high performance has been seamlessly combined with sustainability to deliver the best of both worlds.

"Our collaboration with Axopar on the AX/E line realizes our vision of 'irresistible boating'," says Leif Stavøstrand, CEO of Evoy. Together with Axopar, we are showing that electric boats can provide the performance, excitement and durability that adventure boating enthusiasts demand," Stavøstrand explains.
Want to inspire
Jan-Erik Viitala says the aim is to inspire and drive a wider movement towards electric boats, and encourage other manufacturers to embrace electric propulsion and scale this to full series production. "We believe that electrification will develop gradually, and we are determined to be at the forefront of this transition."
The AX/E series was shown for the first time at the Cannes Yachting Festival 2024. Delivery to customers should be possible from spring 2025.
We develop and deliver high-performance, 100% electric plug-and-play systems for boats from 20 to 50 feet. With the goal of reducing boat emissions without compromising power or ease of use, Evoy is building tomorrow's technology today.
Fast charging technology and real-time monitoring systems ensure that AX/E models are both reliable and smart, the manufacturer claims.
