Forza X1 will utilize all the design, engineering, testing, and prototyping work already completed with Twin Vee's 240 Electric and 280 Electric models.

"Forza X1's mission is to follow in the footsteps of the Tesla business model by intentionally departing from the traditional industry model by exclusively focusing on a fully integrated electric boat with propulsion and boat control technology designed, assembled, and shipped from our factory," states Visconti. "By owning and controlling its sales and service network in addition to designing and manufacturing boats, Forza X1 intends to operate in a fundamentally different manner and structure than traditional boat manufacturers," he continued.

Applying the information and systems it has designed and prototyped under Twin Vee Electric, Forza X1 is developing its first electric boat model. "This will be our first product for the marketplace, illustrating our leadership in electric vehicle innovation and showcasing the technology built by our engineers," explains Visconti. "Our team is currently comprised of three qualified experts in their fields. Dan Norton leads our engineering team and has spent over 20 years working in the technical design engineering arena for several companies. Jean-Marc Zanni specializes in integrating solutions for marine and industrial automation projects focusing on fluid dynamics and marine engineering. Chandan R. Chittimalle is our electrical engineer and has previously designed battery charging control systems. We also plan to hire Morrelli & Melvin Design & Engineering, Inc. to help design our first boat. They have a fantastic track record of designing creative, sound, safe, energy-efficient, fun, and fast multi-hulls and mono-hulls." Forza X1 plans to combine a market-leading range on a single charge with an attractive boat, comfortable interior, auto-pilot performance, and zero motor emissions. "We are designing our Forza X1 boats to operate with a proprietary electric powertrain that incorporates four key components-an advanced battery pack, power electronics module, high-efficiency motor, and extensive control software."
