the pitch
Voltaic Marine is on a mission to electrify the marine boating market and accelerate the adoption of clean energy technology. The company is initially focused on developing purpose-built EVs with its patent-pending battery and hull design for water sports. Within the $230B recreational boating market (source), the company is utilizing a scalable platform that is adaptable to any make, model, or market segment.
“I’m super excited for the future of Electric Water Sports Boats and believe Wake Surfing is a great sport to take advantage of some of the performance advantages Electric Motors can bring, using Batteries for Energy and Ballast while offsetting Smell, Exhaust, and Noise. Voltaic Marine is also tackling “range anxiety”, which is the real barrier to entry for Electric Boats.”
*Chad Carlson is a compensated-partner of Voltaic Marine, Inc.
*This testimonial may not be representative of the experiences of other customers and is not a guarantee of future performance or success.
Our ground-up patent pending design will deliver performance without noise and exhaust. The AEW24 is sleek, strong, and designed for all-day water sports, enabled by our proprietary battery architecture. We will expand adoption through branded models, OEM services, and retrofit kits.

THE PRODUCT

Electric boats are great for water sports like wake surfing, with benefits that match the sport's demands for heavy ballast, powerful motors, and low speeds. Batteries serve as static weight ballast and electric motors offer instant torque, all at lower speeds, resulting in larger wakes and longer run times.
With a 200kWh battery, the AEW24 can last for an 8-hour day on the water with a single charge and can Fast Charge up to 80% in two hours.
*The above is a rendering of a future product. Images are computer-generated demo versions. The product is still currently under development and is not yet available on the market.
The run time of the propulsion system has the potential to be ~2x with future advances in battery technology.

The Problem & Our Solution
Recreational boating is popular, with over 12 million registered boats in the US. However, most of these boats run on gasoline, causing environmental problems such as pollution, decreased oxygen, and high water toxicity. European countries are starting to ban fossil fuel systems in boats and the marine industry is expected to be impacted by the growth of EVs in the automotive sector. (source, source, source)

Voltaic Marine aims to provide environmentally friendly electric boats to the underserved recreational boating market. The company has a team of experts developing the next generation of marine EVs starting with Water Sports, using a scalable platform that will allow for mass production and the creation of other Models for the marine industry.
Electric boats have advantages over traditional boats including being more efficient, having instant torque and acceleration for water sports, while causing no emissions or exhaust noise. Another key advantage is that the batteries provide consistent ballast for creating the perfect wake, unlike fuel tanks, which reduce in weight as the fuel is burned.

Voltaic Marine has a competitive edge with its optimized battery and hull design for water sports, pending utility and design patents, and minimized development risk.

While water sports and recreational boating are incredible activities for the population to enjoy various waterways, recreational boating is the 2nd largest consumer of gasoline and contributor of C02 emissions in the US, for off-highway vehicles. A study conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation 2015.
A 2018 message from the National Marine Manufacturers Association to the EPA, showed 142 million recreational boaters take to the water annually in the U.S., consuming over 2.3 billion gallons of gasoline, which accounts for 25% of non-highway use.

SHANGHAI, April 19 (Reuters) - Chinese battery giant CATL (300750.SZ) on Wednesday unveiled a condensed matter battery that it said could supply enough energy to power electric passenger aircraft for civil aviation use.
The battery, a type of semi-solid state product with condensed electrolyte and new anode and separator materials, will have an energy density of 500 Watt hours per kilogramme (Wh/kg), according to Wu Kai, CATL's Scientist in Chief, speaking to reporters at the Shanghai auto show. (Source) (Source)
CATL’s new condensed battery will have almost double the energy intensity of Tesla’s 4680 cells, whose rating of 272-296 Wh/kg are considered very high by current standards. (Source)

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
