Forza X1 initiates engineering for the equivalent of a 600 HP peak and up to 400 HP continuous electric outboard motor for the Marine Industry

FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / August 30, 2022 / Forza X1, Inc. (NASDAQ: FRZA) ("Forza", the "Company"), a new developer of electric sport boats with a mission to inspire the adoption of sustainable recreational boating, today announced that its engineering team has begun a project to design a new, larger horsepower outboard motor, targeted to perform up to 400 HP continuous and 600 HP peak equivalents. "This new motor is intended to be an expansion of our product line. A larger electric outboard motor will be able to achieve higher speeds and accommodate the performance requirements for bigger boats," says Joseph Visconti, Executive Chairman and Chief of Product Development for Forza X1, Inc.

"As we get closer to water testing the first FX1 boat in Q4 2022, the Company is beginning to plan for the next stage of its trajectory," explains Visconti. "Based on recent industry sales data, Forza believes there is interest in the marketplace for a larger outboard electric motor capable of bigger things." According to a report released earlier this year by the National Marine Manufacturers' Association, the only outboard engine horsepower segment that saw growth in 2021 sales was the 300 HP and greater segment, posting an increase of 3.1% in sales units compared to 2020. "While the Company is primarily focused on launching the FX1 in the coming months, our engineers have begun applying the experience gained over the past year towards Forza's first planned product expansion."
