A demo boat is currently available through the ENVO / EBikeBC showroom in Burnaby, BC. Supervised 30-minute test rides are arranged at Cates Park or Vanier Park in ocean water, subject to boat availability, weather, and water conditions. The test-ride fee is C$400 and must be prepaid to schedule the appointment. If you place an order for an ENVO Electric Boat, the full C$400 test-ride fee is applied to your purchase.

The ENVO Electric Boat is built to order. A 25% deposit is due when the order is placed. For the C$19,979 base boat, the deposit is C$4,994.75 before tax and selected options. Production normally starts within 3 business days of the order. Once production starts, the deposit is non-refundable unless ENVO is unable to deliver the product. The remaining 75% balance is due before delivery.

The current estimated delivery time is approximately 4 months from order placement. Because the boat is built to order, actual timing can be affected by production, component availability, international freight, customs, and other circumstances.

No. The listed price is Ex Works from ENVO’s Vancouver-area warehouse. Shipping or destination delivery, applicable taxes, licensing or registration costs, and other destination-specific charges are additional. ENVO can quote delivery based on the customer’s location.

Yes. ENVO plans to offer the Electric Boat 380 in both Canada and the United States. Delivery costs, taxes, financing, licensing, registration, and boating rules vary by destination.

Financing options are available in Canada and the United States through third-party financing providers, subject to application and approval. Rates, terms, and availability depend on the customer and jurisdiction.

Range changes significantly with speed, passenger weight, wind, waves, current, and watersports use. As a practical planning example, a family of two parents and a school-age child spending a fun day on the lake—cruising, playing, and doing some light pulling—can reasonably plan around approximately 30 km of total use. Slower cruising can extend range, while sustained high-speed operation reduces it.

Approximately 80 minutes under typical test conditions. Operating at lower speeds materially increases running time and usable range.

With a typical tested passenger load of about 200 kg, such as three people, the boat has commonly reached approximately 20–22 km/h. Actual speed varies with total load and water conditions.

The boat begins transitioning onto plane at approximately 10–12+ km/h, depending on load, trim, and water conditions. The ENVO Electric Boat is intended as an efficient family and recreational electric RIB rather than a high-speed performance boat.

Yes, within its power class. The boat has been tested successfully pulling an adult wakeboarder out of the water. Wakeboarding and kneeboarding can be especially fun for beginners and kids. It can also pull a two-person tube, but buyers looking for aggressive, high-speed tubing should choose a higher-powered boat.

Trip planning and range management are the operator’s responsibility, just as fuel planning is with a gasoline boat. Always plan with a reserve and consider an appropriate backup for where you boat. Depending on the application, that may include paddles, an auxiliary trolling motor, a properly installed small backup engine, a towing plan, and reliable cellular or marine-radio coverage. Never plan a trip assuming maximum range will always be available.

Allow approximately 3 hours per battery with the supplied 20A charger. With four battery modules and one charger, allow approximately 12 hours to charge all four batteries. This makes overnight charging practical for normal recreational use.

Yes. The battery modules are removable, but they are heavy, so frequent removal is not recommended for normal use.

Potentially, but the standard boat is configured around four battery modules. Adding battery capacity may require customer-performed custom mounting, wiring, and system integration. It is not currently a standard plug-and-play factory option.

For extended storage, keep the batteries in a controlled indoor environment at approximately room temperature and maintain them at 50% state of charge or higher. Do not leave the batteries deeply discharged for extended periods.

Yes. After saltwater use, rinse the boat and exposed equipment thoroughly with fresh water. Saltwater is corrosive, so normal inspection and care of the hull, tubes, steering, electrical connections, motor, and trailer remain important.

Yes, but ENVO does not recommend leaving it in the water unnecessarily for extended periods. If the boat is left docked, it should be secured against unauthorized access, and the battery and electrical systems should be monitored appropriately. Proper storage is preferred for longer periods of non-use.

Electric propulsion eliminates many gasoline-engine service items such as engine oil, spark plugs, fuel filters, and fuel-system maintenance. Owners still need normal marine inspection and care of the propeller, hull, inflatable tubes, steering, electrical connections, batteries, and trailer. After saltwater use, freshwater rinsing is important.

The boat is designed to be highly serviceable. ENVO provides replacement parts, instructions, and technical references so many service tasks can be completed by the owner or a competent local marine technician. ENVO also plans to stock key motor, electrical, and battery replacement parts in Canada.

The ENVO Electric Boat is covered under ENVO’s applicable general warranty terms. Customers should review the current ENVO warranty terms at the time of purchase for coverage periods, exclusions, and the claim process.

Yes. Common marine accessories such as fish finders, trolling motors, USB/12V accessories, and additional lighting can be installed. Accessories should be properly fused, wired, and installed for marine use, and modifications should not interfere with the ENVO propulsion or battery systems.

No. A trailer is optional. A suitable 14-foot boat trailer is available for approximately C$1,550. Trailers are supplied through third-party local manufacturers or importers so the customer can receive a road-legal, licensable, and insurable trailer. Exact trailer specifications may vary by supplier and location.

The boat itself weighs only about 300 kg including the batteries, motor, and typical accessories, so many small cars, SUVs, and trucks can tow it. The trailer adds additional weight, so always confirm the vehicle manufacturer’s rated towing capacity for the combined boat-and-trailer weight and use an approved hitch and proper road-legal towing equipment.

In many cases, yes. A 14-foot trailer is the recommended size for the boat. Garage depth, door height, trailer tongue length, and the exact third-party trailer configuration vary, so customers should confirm their available dimensions before ordering.

For recreational use in Canada, the operator of a motorized pleasure craft needs proof of competency. The most common proof is a Pleasure Craft Operator Card (PCOC), which is valid for life. Transport Canada notes limited exceptions, including certain visitors and operation in Nunavut and the Northwest Territories. Customers should verify the current rules for their situation before operating.

Yes, for normal recreational use when the boat is principally operated and maintained in Canadian waters. Transport Canada requires a Pleasure Craft Licence (PCL) for a pleasure craft equipped with one or more engines totaling at least 7.5 kW (10 hp). The ENVO Electric Boat’s 10.5 kW propulsion system is above that threshold. The PCL is for the boat and is separate from the operator’s proof of competency.

For ordinary private recreational use, a Pleasure Craft Licence is generally the relevant federal requirement rather than vessel registration. Transport Canada identifies vessel registration for specific situations such as commercial operation, a marine mortgage, or reserving an official vessel name. Owners who plan to travel internationally should also check destination-country requirements.

Federal passenger-vessel liability insurance rules generally do not apply to a private pleasure craft used only for the owner’s friends and family without charging passengers. Insurance is nevertheless strongly recommended, and a marina, lender, storage provider, or other party may require it. Commercial use can trigger different insurance and regulatory requirements.

Current paid options include hydraulic storage pistons (C$299), boat cover (C$149), four life jackets (C$149), automatic electric pump (C$179), stainless steel side ladder (C$449), aluminum roll bar with navigation lights (C$1,299), and a suitable 14-foot boat trailer (approximately C$1,550). Availability and exact third-party trailer specifications may vary by location.

Canadian boating rules can change and may vary with the vessel’s use. The regulatory answers above are based on Transport Canada information reviewed in August 2026. Commercial use, rentals, passenger-for-hire use, international travel, and local waterways may have additional requirements. Customers should confirm current requirements before operation.
