Alex Mongeon, CEO & Director of Vision Marine Technologies, a company that designs and manufactures high-performance electric outboard powertrain systems and fully integrated electric boats to displace traditional internal combustion engines in the global marine industry joins the Green Business Podcast.
Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Alex Mongeon discuss the following:
- You’ve spent 25 years in the marine industry. Many people see ‘green’ as a trend, but you’ve bet the house on it. Was there a specific moment on the water where you realized the future had to be focused on EVs?
- A lot of tech companies just build the engine or the boat. Vision Marine is vertically integrated—owning the battery tech, the manufacturing, and even the retail through Nautical Ventures. Why was it so important for you to control the entire ‘ecosystem’ rather than just being a parts supplier?
- I read that you’ve logged over 70,000 electric boat rentals. That’s a massive amount of data. How did those thousands of real-world customers influence the way you designed your latest propulsion systems?
- We’ve seen the automotive world hit a tipping point with EVs. With new regulations hitting lakes in North America and Europe, do you think the marine industry is moving faster or slower than the car industry did?
- You often say that sustainability and profitability aren’t competing interests. For the skeptics listening—the business owners who worry that ‘going green’ will hurt their margins—how is Vision Marine proving them wrong on the balance sheet?
- When we look back at the ‘electrification of the oceans’ twenty years from now, what role do you want Vision Marine to have played in that history book?
