ePropulsion I-20 Electric Inboard Motor (20 kW, 96V eSSA)

ePropulsion I-20 — 20 kW, 96V Electric Inboard

The I-20 steps ePropulsion's 96-volt I-Series up to 20 kW — clean, quiet inboard power for cruising sailboats, multihulls, and small powerboats. Like the rest of the range it integrates motor, gearbox, controller, system control and cooling into one compact, plug-and-play unit built for new installs and electric repowers.

Why the I-Series

• 5-in-1 integration — ~60% less space than a comparable combustion engine.
• Light — 109 lb; up to 65% lighter than combustion and ~30% lighter than comparable electric inboards.
• Hydrogeneration — recharges the battery from water flow while sailing.
• Plug-and-play pre-connected wiring; connected via the cloud Connectivity Service.
• Unified Smart Throttle + 5″ display; dual-motor route planning supported.

One connected system — eSSA

The I-20 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, all on keyed eSSA cabling. Our advisors will size it 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.
