Seavolt and RAD Propulsion have announced an exciting new partnership to deliver complete electric propulsion solutions to boat manufacturers, marinas, ports, sporting organisations, and governments across Australia and the Pacific region.

This collaboration brings together Seavolt's industry leading marine charging technology and RAD Propulsion's innovative electric drive systems, offering customers a seamless and sustainable solution for electrifying their fleets.

Seavolt is at the forefront of electrification in the marine industry, pioneering charging networks in Australia and Singapore. The company offers marinised chargers ranging from 7kW to 360kW, capable of charging workboats in minutes instead of hours. Its micro-grid solar power systems ensure these chargers are powered by 100% renewable electricity, supporting a clean energy future.

RAD Propulsion, a UK based marine technology company, is equally committed to sustainability. Its flagship RAD 40 electric drive is lightweight, powerful, and designed for intuitive operation. Built by a team of engineers, RAD Propulsion's products aim to reduce maritime carbon emissions while delivering top tier performance.

Dan Hook, CEO of RAD Propulsion, underscored the importance of the partnership. "We're thrilled to collaborate with Seavolt to bring sustainable and high performance solutions to Australia and the Pacific," he said. "This partnership perfectly aligns with our mission to cut carbon emissions in the maritime industry by making electric propulsion smarter, cleaner, and more accessible. Together, we're setting a new standard for what electric boating can achieve."

This partnership is a natural fit, combining Seavolt's expertise in charging infrastructure with RAD Propulsion's cutting-edge electric propulsion technology, helping organisations across the region transition to clean energy with ease.

Seavolt CEO, Chris Cudlipp, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting the transformative potential of RAD Propulsion's offerings. "For the first time, it's possible to offer a total engine, battery and charging solution."

Chris added, "We're getting constant enquiries from customers who want to electrify their fleets of outboard-powered boats. Seavolt can provide a complete charging solution but no one in the market was offering plug-and-play electric power replacement that supported ultra-fast charging. RAD Propulsion delivers that."

This partnership enables Seavolt to meet growing demand with a comprehensive package. The RAD 40 kW engine, known for its durability, is paired with high-performance, long range batteries and a host of intuitive features. These include advanced multi-function displays, a drive by wire control system, and connectivity solutions via GPS, Wi-Fi, GSM, and NMEA. The RADTag intelligent key system rounds out the offering, providing unparalleled convenience and security.

"With RAD Propulsion, Seavolt can now offer our customers a one stop, hassle-free engine, battery and charging solution to re-power their existing fleet or propel new hulls, free of air, noise and water pollution," said Chris Cudlipp.
