The Forza X1 mission is to inspire the adoption of sustainable recreational boating by creating stylish and affordable electric boats.
We are developing a fully integrated electric boat that is elegant, affordable, and ready to ride.
We are committed to the notion that affordable and stylish electric boats that do not harm the ecosystem is the future of recreational boating.
The Forza X1 mission is to inspire the adoption of sustainable recreational boating by creating stylish and affordable electric boats for mass appeal. We believe that marine electrification is the future of recreational boating.
So often traditional powerboats create large amounts of noise, which disturbs wildlife and makes it difficult for passengers to hear one another while underway. Forza X1 boats are quiet, making it easier to enjoy the sounds of nature, family, and friends. You might even be able to find some good fishing without the fear of engine noise scaring those fish away.
Forza X1 will operate fundamentally differently from other marine manufacturers with our digital-first strategy. Through dedicated web and app-based platforms for sales, deliveries, and service operations, we’ve developed a direct-to-consumer model that allows our customers to experience the ease and flexibility of boat buying from the comfort of their homes. Our integrated strategy will be both convenient and transparent for our customers, and it will be able to easily scale to support our growth.
Industries are constantly adapting and evolving. As electric vehicles continue to make strides, it is time for marine manufacturers to join the conversation around necessary next steps for the boating industry so that we all can continue to enjoy getting out on the water and keep it clean. Forza X1’s mission is to engineer and design a more viable solution to loud, toxic powerboats. It is the power of innovation and developing new technologies that will allow us to lead this change for the industry.
Forza X1’s founders have been designing and building boats for over 25 years. Our manufacturing knowledge is further enhanced by professionals with industry-leading skills in electrical engineering and software and controls. Engineered for oceans, lakes, rivers, and other waterways, Forza X1 boats are machine-tooled and assembled by hand by an experienced team of innovators and craftsmen.
Forza X1 boats are modern and stylish, designed by boaters for boaters.
Forza X1 has completed the design phase of its outboard motor and is now developing and preparing to manufacture it to power Forza X1’s new 24-foot FX1 boat.
These batteries will integrate the next generation of battery technologies, with highly efficient thermal management systems, next generation battery management systems, and some of the highest volumetric and gravimetric pack energy densities on the market that can interface with CCS fast chargers.
Forza X1 will utilize the T350-50 battery pack, a highly flexible and modular battery that can be scaled in series or in parallel.
The battery packs are based on the world-class 2170 cylindrical cells and have the highest energy density solution in the market with approximately 200 Wh/kg. The Proliance T350-50 also allows for advanced monitoring and diagnostic reporting. Additionally, there is a highly efficient, liquid cooled thermal management system and the sealed enclosures are IP65, which eliminates potential for debris and weather to get inside the battery pack.
Forza XI is developing a brand-new state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in McDowell County, North Carolina. The 100,000 square foot facility will be a dedicated Lean Manufacturing factory designed to incorporate closed-molded composite boat building technologies and electric engine assembly processes
Multiple technologies are expected to be employed incrementally as volume and throughput needs increase, including 3D printing, robotic gel-coating and cutting, and ergonomically designed material handling equipment
Forza X1 intends for the planned manufacturing facility to be better equipped to meet future demand for Forza X1’s boats by increasing production capacity and streamlining the manufacturing process.
Forza X1, Inc. has established an in-depth budget that lays out all of the potential costs associated with building its 100,000 square foot manufacturing plant.
