Hydrogeneration Empowers Sailboats

ePropulsion pod drive motors allow you to generate electricity from wind and water with hydrogeneration function.

Pod Drive 1.0 Evo, Pod Drive 3.0 Evo and Pod Drive 6.0 Evo can drive the propeller to charge the battery (only the ePropulsion battery) through water flow when certain conditions are met (please refer to the user manual in the download center for the required conditions).
