Vision Marine Technologies Files U.S. Patent Application for Dual-Mode Electric Outboard Trim Control Vision Marine Technologies Inc. announced the filing of a new U.S. patent application relating to dual-mode trim-control technology for electric outboard propulsion systems. The filing is directed to supporting trim operation from both local outboard-side controls and compatible vessel-side electronic control systems. The application addresses practical operating scenarios in which boat owners, manufacturers, dealers and service technicians may need to adjust the position of an outboard during trailering, launching, docking, storage, commissioning or maintenance, including under vessel power states in which full propulsion-system activation may not be desired. The disclosed technology is directed to improving the integration of trim functionality within an electric outboard architecture while supporting operator convenience, serviceability and power-management objectives. The new filing expands Vision Marine's intellectual-property work surrounding the E-Motion™ high-voltage electric marine propulsion platform. The E-Motion™ platform was engineered specifically for marine applications and integrates the electric motor, high-voltage battery architecture, power electronics, cooling systems, controls, safety systems and digital helm interface required for high-performance electric boating. The proposed trim-control technology is intended to complement this system-level approach by incorporating a familiar outboard function within the broader electric propulsion and vessel-control architecture. The filing adds to Vision Marine's portfolio of patent applications and intellectual-property work relating to the E-Motion™ platform, including propulsion controls, outboard integration, power management, cooling systems, safety functions, fault detection, component authentication and secure vessel communications. Vision Marine has industrialized its 180 HP high-voltage E-Motion™ propulsion system for marine applications, has previously disclosed integrations across more than 25 boats across 13 recreational boat brands, and set a 116 mph electric boat speed record in 2023. The Company continues to develop and seek protection for marine-specific technologies related to the integration, servicing and practical operation of its electric propulsion systems. The patent application is pending and remains subject to examination by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. No assurance can be given regarding the scope, timing or outcome of any pending patent application. Announcement • Jul 01
Vision Marine Technologies Delivers and Accepts Electronic Control Unit Assemblies for E-Motion High-Voltage Electric Marine Propulsion Platform Vision Marine Technologies Inc. announced the delivery and acceptance of electronic control unit assemblies manufactured by Circuits Central Inc. for use within the Company's E-Motion high-voltage electric marine propulsion platform. Circuits Central has completed and delivered ECU assemblies supporting ten E-Motion powertrains. Vision Marine has completed incoming inspection of the delivered assemblies, which have been accepted for use within the Company's E-Motion production and integration activities. The completed production work forms part of Vision Marine's ongoing system-level engineering and technology-development initiatives across the E-Motion platform. High-voltage marine propulsion requires the coordinated performance of mechanical, electrical, thermal, software and control-system components in demanding on-water conditions. The ECU architecture supports critical control, communications and monitoring functions within that broader system. Utilizing specialized electronics manufacturing capability for critical control-electronics assemblies is intended to support more consistent component production, testing, traceability and integration across different vessel configurations. Circuits Central is an established electronics manufacturing and product-development services provider with more than 25 years of experience in printed circuit board manufacturing and assembly, prototyping, testing and quality assurance. The company states that it has supported customers ranging from technology startups to established S&P 500 companies and supports projects from prototype development through production runs exceeding 10,000 units. Circuits Central also states that its processes align with ISO and IPC industry guidelines. Vision Marine has developed E-Motion as a purpose-built high-voltage propulsion platform for marine applications. The Company has previously disclosed E-Motion integrations across more than 25 boat platforms and 13 boat brands, including pontoon, catamaran, center-console and bowrider applications. Circuits Central's manufacture of ECU assembly's forms part of Vision Marine's broader effort to advance E-Motion through component validation, production-process refinement, OEM integration and service development. Together with the Company's engineering activities, manufacturer relationships and Nautical Ventures retail and service platform, these initiatives are intended to reinforce the technical and operational foundation supporting the continued deployment of E-Motion-equipped boats.

Vision Marine Technologies Receives Uspto Notice of Allowance for Electric-Vessel Powertrain Authentication Technology Vision Marine Technologies Inc. has received a Notice of Allowance from the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its U.S. patent application titled, "Authentication of One or More Powertrain Components of an Electric Vessel." The Notice of Allowance indicates that the USPTO has examined the application and determined that it is allowable. The application is among the earlier patent applications in Vision Marine's portfolio to receive a Notice of Allowance and represents progress in the Company's intellectual-property program for high-voltage electric marine propulsion. The allowed application relates to the authentication of one or more components within an electric-vessel powertrain. A high-voltage marine propulsion system brings together the propulsion motor, power electronics, battery systems, power-distribution equipment, vessel controls and related electronic components. The application addresses component authentication within that integrated operating environment. Vision Marine's intellectual-property portfolio also includes issued U.S. patents and multiple additional U.S. patent applications pending. The pending applications relate to elements of high-voltage electric marine propulsion, including battery architecture, power distribution, propulsion controls, cooling systems, mechanical integration, communications and vessel-level operating systems. For investors, the Notice of Allowance marks a clear progression beyond a patent filing: the application has been examined and found allowable by the USPTO. Any U.S. patent that issues from the application will provide protection defined by the claims granted by the USPTO.
