Speaking only for myself, I like the idea of electric outboards for obvious reasons, but they are just too new for my comfort.   Issues like cost, weight (including batteries), and especially range are concerns.  Who knows, maybe someday there will be floating charging stations out on the lakes.   Unlike electric or hybrid cars that are out there all around us, I have yet to see one of these electric outboards out on the lake.  Maybe irrational, but they are just too new and unproven to me. About the only thing I'm sure of about this new technology is they are all electric start. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
