SFC Energy cooperates with ePropulsion in the field of electric boat drives - EFOY fuel cell provides power for the test winner outboard motor Spirit 1.0 PLUS

- SFC Energy and ePropulsion announce cooperation at INTERBOOT trade fair

- The recently presented EFOY direct methanol fuel cell enables more sustainable independence from the power grid and charging times

Brunnthal/Munich, Germany, September 18, 2020 - SFC Energy AG (F3C:DE, ISIN: DE0007568578), a leading provider of hybrid power solutions to the stationary and mobile power generation markets, announces a cooperation with ePropulsion, a leading international manufacturer of electric boat drives, at the INTERBOOT industry trade fair in Friedrichshafen, which starts tomorrow (September 19 to 27). The EFOY fuel cell will supply the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 PLUS outboard electric motor for even more range and autonomy.

In its print edition 19/2020, Europe's largest sailing magazine "Yacht" selected the ePropulsion Spirit 1.0 PLUS as the winner of an electric outboard motor comparative test. The specialist editorial team was particularly impressed by the long range of the unit. The compact but extremely powerful engine delivers 3 HP and is suitable for boats up to 1.5 tons weight. At full speed, the motor with a rated capacity of 1,276 watt-hour (Wh) has a running time of 1 hour and 15 minutes; at economical driving (approx. 300 Watt), the battery power is sufficient for a four-hour trip.

All sailors and boaters who want to increase the engine's running time can now do it easily and comfortably with the EFOY direct methanol fuel cell. If boaters are traveling at medium speed with 300 Watt and the EFOY fuel cell feeds approx. 75 watts (W) during a four-hour trip, additional 300 Wh are available. In this way, the fuel cell range extender function will provide another hour of travel - an increase of 25 percent.
