ePropulsion I-10 — 10 kW, 96V Electric Inboard
The I-10 is the compact end of ePropulsion's next-generation 96-volt I-Series inboards — clean, whisper-quiet electric propulsion for sailboats, small cruisers, and tenders. It consolidates five components (motor, gearbox, motor controller, system control unit, and cooling) into one tidy, plug-and-play unit, so it drops into new builds and electric repowers with minimal wiring and fuss.
Why the I-Series
- 5-in-1 integration — motor, gearbox, controller, control unit and cooling in one unit; about 60% less space than a comparable combustion engine.
- Light — 99 lb; up to 65% lighter than combustion and ~30% lighter than comparable electric inboards.
- Hydrogeneration — recharges the battery from propeller-driven water flow while sailing.
- Plug-and-play pre-connected wiring; connected via the ePropulsion cloud Connectivity Service.
- Unified Smart Throttle + 5″ display for an intuitive helm; dual-motor route planning supported.
One connected system — eSSA
The I-10 runs on ePropulsion's eSSA architecture. Complete the system with a 96V G-Series battery (G102-100 or G102-230), a G-Series charger or 2 kW MPPT solar controller, and your choice of Smart control/display. Components connect with keyed eSSA cables. Our advisors will size battery, charging and controls with you.
You also need a 12V battery. Beyond the 96V propulsion pack, the I-Series uses a separate 12V supply for its controls, display, and electronics. An included 96V→12V DC-DC module keeps it charged from the propulsion pack. The 12V battery is not included and should provide at least 18 A continuous discharge — we'll spec it with the rest of your system.
