Chobe Game Reserve in Botswana has fitted one of its boats with the electric powertrain. With solar panels on its roof, it has been operating completely independently of external charging for two months.

South African electric vehicle maker Thula Solutions has developed an electric powertrain for boats, ideally suited for quieter river cruise safaris.The ESV is currently open for reservations and, according to the company’s latest update, will enter production in the fourth quarter of 2024.

“We are specifically targeting the ecotourism market and highlighting the impact on the environment as well as the enhanced experience, both of which are key marketing points that the lodges and ecotourism sector can use to differentiate themselves in the market,” Tatham said. “Being able to cruise along a riverbank watching a herd of elephants quench their thirst and to be able to hear their low rumbling communications between the herd as well as the birds in the trees truly is something that needs to be experienced in person to get a real grasp of how special it is,” Tatham said.

Tatham said although the initial development of the software and componentry for the powertrain took some time, it can now complete an installation in a day to or two. Among the modifications that could be required are adjustments to the mounts for the actual motor to ensure the correct fit, placement, and mounting of the battery box.
