FORZA X1 REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2023

FORT PIERCE, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 26, 2024 — Forza X1, Inc. (Nasdaq: FRZA) (“Forza,” the “Company”), a developer of electric sport boats, today reported operational highlights and financial results for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2023:

“We aim to be among the first to develop and manufacture electric boats targeting the recreational market,” said Joseph Visconti, Executive Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer of Forza X1, Inc. “Our mission is to build stylish recreational boats that provide a sustainable alternative to the recreational boating industry and solve fuel availability headaches in select markets. Focused on the creation and implementation of marine electric vehicle (“EV”) technology to control and power our electric boats, we have designed, built and tested multiple Forza company units, including three offshore-style catamarans, two bay boat-style catamarans, one deck boat, and three 22-foot center or dual console (F22) monohulls.”

 ”The marine industry has been slow to adopt electric boating due to several factors that have made sustained progress difficult. “Elevated interest rates, widespread negative perception about the economy, and the lack of substantial infrastructure for electric boating are just some challenges the industry faces in 2024,” remarked Visconti.

Despite these hurdles, Forza continues to make strides to fulfill its mission. In late 2023 and early 2024, the Company’s outboard motor has undergone an extensive redesign. This new design incorporates simplified frame structure that uses stacked custom castings which are sealed for increased durability and corrosion protection. The overall shape of the motor and cowlings have been updated, and the cowlings redesigned to facilitate higher volume manufacturing processes such as thermoform and injection molding. Furthermore, the motor cooling circuits have been re-engineered to optimize cooling flow rates to the inverter, which have yielded better runtime, speed, and range and aims to extend time on the water in a single charge. The engine design, lower units, and the control systems are continuously improved with each iteration. The Company continues to iterate the engine design, including value engineering of parts and lightweighting of engine components.

Forza’s propulsion system is also undergoing extensive design verification testing. This plan consists of over one hundred different tests, including safety critical operational testing, 2,000-hour endurance tank testing, log strike testing, wave hop simulation testing, corrosion mitigation, extreme temperature testing, user interface, and sea trial runs. The system successfully passed the initial rounds of safety critical operational testing and cooling testing and is tracking for a successful endurance testing using our state-of-the-art tank station.

“While development continues, we are also in discussion with several high-profile marine manufacturers to offer our electrification expertise and hardware packages as a service,” stated Visconti.

“Despite the industry headwinds, our team is constantly evaluating new opportunities, reducing unnecessary expenditures and shelving long-term projects in favor of those with more near-term impacts. There is a lot to look forward to this year and the Forza team is ready to face any challenges to ensure our Company’s mission is successful.”
