Technical Information
The EBA provides technical information and support in a number of ways.
Our History
Electric power has been proven to be globally more environmentally friendly than any other form of power generation. Boats require less power to move a mass from A to B than other forms of transport. There are many good reasons for this, i.e. low friction, low speed and no hills. Combining these features, electrically propelled boats on inland waterways are the most efficient form of transport available, both globally and at the point of use where there is no noise, no pollution and no fuss.
The Electric Boat Association (EBA) was founded in the UK in 1982 to promote the development of Electric Boating and to serve the needs of all who have an interest in electric boating, boat owners or business members.
The EBA promotes electric boating worldwide and is the voice for electric boat owner’s interests at discussions with the inland waterway authorities and government departments involved with legislation for inland waterways issues such as waterway access, charging points, slipway facilities, reduced licence fees and the Boat Safety Scheme etc.

Our Magazine
All members used to receive Electric Boat, the only magazine in the UK produced solely to provide information to would-be electric boat owners and those who already have an electric craft. We are still hoping to produce more issues, as we haven’t published one for a while due to higher print costs and problems finding a new editor.
Free to EBA members, it contains a wealth of interesting articles and news of shows and rallies particularly relevant to electric boat enthusiasts.
Technical articles of interest to electric boaters and technical tips offering advice on boat maintenance form regular features of the magazine, together with information on new products and developments in the electric boating world.
Forthcoming events organised by the Association, or at which the EBA is represented, are also publicised and social events to which members or enthusiasts are invited to participate are highlighted.
The Electric Boat magazine reports on the latest developments in the electric boating world. Each issue contains news from home and abroad as well as coverage of the most recent boat shows.
