Forza X1 Begins Water Testing Phase with Its FX1 Electric Boat

FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / November 1, 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, announced that it successfully launched and sea-trialed its 25-foot electric-powered FX1 catamaran this past Friday. "I'm proud to announce that we have officially begun the water testing phase of our FX1 dual console 100% electric boat," says Jim Leffew, CEO and President of Forza X1, Inc.

Leffew recounts the events of the electric boat's initial launch, "From the beginning, the Forza team set out to build electric boats geared towards mass appeal and mass production. From an idea to an Initial Public Offering, to a ceremony with North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announcing the location of our future manufacturing facility dedicated to building electric motors and electric boats. A lot of intense effort has been put into this vision since the very beginning. And when the test day finally arrived, our engineers, electricians, boat builders, and supporting staff were anxious as a lot was riding on a successful sea trial."

"A chase boat was brought in to support any technical challenges, but also to be used as a platform for the entire team to get a front row seat of what we believed would become a historical and momentous occasion for the Forza X1 and Twin Vee companies," states Leffew.

Many parallel paths of development are underway, as the Company's FX1 dual console enters the water testing phase. Leffew estimates that its FX1 center console and new electric deck boat should begin their own water test phase in Q1 2023. "Additionally, our newly leased 8,800 square-foot facility in Old Fort, North Carolina is expected to begin small batch engine production for a series of FX1 boats being built and assembled at Twin Vee PowerCats Co.'s plant in Fort Pierce, Florida," states Leffew. "All this while our new Forza factory is being constructed in McDowell County, North Carolina over the next year."

Leffew believes that marine manufacturing will gravitate to electrification in the coming years, following the automotive industry's transition. "Team Forza has a steadfast belief that the winner in the marine industry will not be first to market, but the company that has the ability, knowledge, infrastructure and experience to ramp up marine manufacturing boat production to meet the growing demand. As in the auto space, we expect to see trendy EV boat companies come and go. However, the marine manufacturers that know how to build profitably and efficiently will forge the transition of electrifying the marine industry, and we intend to be at the forefront of this movement."
