New filing extends the E-Motion™ 180E system architecture to the management and prioritization of auxiliary vessel power.
BOISBRIAND, QC, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: VMAR; TSXV: VMAR) (“Vision Marine” or the “Company”), a marine technology and recreational boating company combining proprietary high-voltage electric propulsion technology with direct consumer market access through its Nautical Ventures retail, service and marina platform, today announced the filing of a new U.S. patent application relating to low-voltage power distribution and selective load management aboard marine vessels. The application is directed to managing auxiliary electrical power across different vessel operating states while preserving power for selected higher-priority functions.
In practical terms, even a high-voltage electric vessel depends on a conventional low-voltage electrical system to support controls and other onboard functions. When a vessel is shut down, stored, serviced or not actively charging, unnecessary electrical loads can gradually deplete its house battery. The proposed technology is designed to prioritize which functions remain available and disconnect other loads when appropriate, helping preserve battery reserves and support more controlled onboard power management.
The filing expands Vision Marine’s system-level approach to the E-Motion™ 180E high-voltage electric marine powertrain. The E-Motion™ platform integrates the electric motor, high-voltage battery architecture, power electronics, cooling systems, propulsion controls, safety systems and digital helm interface required for high-performance electric boating. The proposed low-voltage power-management technology is intended to complement this architecture by addressing how supporting vessel systems receive and conserve power during operation, charging, shutdown, storage and service.
“A complete electric marine powertrain must manage both the high-voltage energy that propels the boat and the low-voltage systems that support practical and safe operation,” said Daniel Rathe, Chief Technology Officer of Vision Marine. “This application addresses a straightforward but important question: when the vessel is not operating, how does the system preserve energy for safety critical functions? That system-level approach is central to how Vision Marine is engineering the E-Motion™ 180E as a complete marine-specific powertrain.”
The filing adds to Vision Marine’s intellectual-property portfolio surrounding propulsion controls, outboard integration, power management, cooling systems, safety functions, fault detection, component authentication and secure vessel communications. Vision Marine has industrialized its 180 HP high-voltage E-Motion™ propulsion system, has previously disclosed integrations across more than 25 boats from 13 recreational boat brands, and established a 116 mph electric boat speed record in 2023. Together, these developments reflect the Company’s strategy of engineering and seeking intellectual-property protection across the complete marine propulsion architecture, from high-voltage performance to the supporting systems required for integration, operation and servicing. The patent application is pending and remains subject to examination by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. No assurance can be given regarding the scope, timing or outcome of the application.
