July 2025 - Converting a Tugboat to Electric

Join us as we hear about the process and benefits of converting a tugboat to electric.

The electric vehicle association got its start decades ago by people that wanted to convert cars to electric. Now a local boatyard has just completed the conversion of a diesel tugboat. A recent article in the SD Union covered how this happened in our own back yard.

Leah Yam of Marine Group Boat Works will give us the details on how and why they undertook conversion of a tugboat.
