The H2E product launch was unveiled by Vision Marine CEO Alexandre Mongeon in August 2022 at Beneteau’s annual dealer conference, held in Michigan, in which Mr. Mongeon provided a detailed slideshow presentation of the vessel to Groupe Beneteau’s global dealership network. The H2E will feature two high voltage, high density 700v batteries, custom manufactured for the exclusive use of Vision Marine, and a fully integrated inboard charger which enables the user to simply recharge the boat via a 110v or 220v outlet. Beneteau has announced it expects deliveries of the vessel to commence spring 2023.
Currently, the H2E is making its first public appearances via a dry display at the InterMarine Boats Headquarters in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. The showcase will continue until the vessel is moved to the 2022 Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show (FLIBS) for live sea trials in late October.
The Seattle Boat Show is the largest boat show on the United States West Coast, with an average of 50,000+ visitors each year. The globally recognized event, which started in 1947, will enter its 76th year.
