We harness lightning. Without the bottle.
Our Mission + Story
The performance boundaries of the ICE age are breaking up behind us. With Swiss precision, EFalke has cut to the front of the maritime electrification market. EFalke is focused on total system efficiency, taking a holistic approach to redesigning every component of the drive train – from gears to motors, controllers to propellers. Commercial or pleasure, cutting-edge or hybrid, EFalke creates heart-thumping, cost-cutting solutions for any application.
Sustainability
EFalke launched with a mission to clean up and silence fossil fuel-powered boating. We’re committed to waste-free production using renewable energy and sustainably sourced materials with the lowest possible greenhouse gas and environmental footprint.
In the long run, EFalke will achieve negative emissions and drawdown its cumulative lifetime environmental impact.
Leadership
Mohammed Alobaidi
Founder And Principal Investor
For over 20 years, Mohammed Alobaidi’s career has followed the rise of lithium battery technology and the conversion opportunities it presented. He used the forecasted price projection and technology roadmap to pre-empt the next conversion opportunity. A believer in the diversity of the supply chain, he built and scaled multiple engineering and manufacturing operations in Taiwan, Malaysia, India, Switzerland and the USA, successfully converting several markets to lithium batteries. In 2020, he sold Green Cubes Technology, a leader in Lithium-ion (Li-ion) power systems in order to turn his focus to the next electrification opportunity: the maritime market.
Jochen Schumann
