Default Mercury electric 7.5hp outboard motor

From the product description in Bass Pro:

With the fully electric Mercury® Avator 7.5E 25'' Outboard Motor, you can enjoy a quiet, effective, and portable boating engine that leaves the outdoors as clean as you found it. In fact, the Mercury Avator transforms the boating experience by eliminating exhaust fumes and fuel emissions, its crafted with many recyclable and reusable components, and its on-the-water performance is totally smooth, calm, and as quiet as nature itself. Thanks to its lightweight feel, easy portability, and quick-connect mount, you can easily get your boat set to take to the water in minutes. Plus, its ratcheting quick-tilt offers 1-handed control over your tilt adjustments, which helps you dial in the performance you need from moment to moment. The adjustable, ambidextrous tiller features 4 vertical and 3 lateral positions, and it even folds down to become a convenient carry handle. If you want to control your Avator from the cockpit, this advanced electrical outboard even comes with a remote power control unit that can be configured as a console, traditional panel, or reversed panel mount. At the back of the engine itself, a vivid and full-color display delivers the motor's speed, battery level, alerts, time, and distance to empty power output. Instead of gas, the Avator features a drop-in, replaceable, rechargeable, 1kW lithium-ion battery. With this power system, there are no cables; simply open the top hatch and slide in your battery pack. This battery powers the electric outboard motor, which produces 750W of power at the prop shaft for speeds and acceleration similar to a 3.5hp four-stoke combustion outboard. How far can this system go on 1 fully charged battery? At full throttle, you can speed up to 5 miles. At 25% throttle, you'll have a maximum range of up to 34 miles. And you can purchase replacement batteries, and easily double or triple these distances. This system comes complete with a smart charging 110W battery charger. When hooked up, this charger monitors voltage current for a safe and effective charge, and its LED charge indicators display your charging progress. This motor comes with a custom-fit carry bag, battery carry bag, davit lifting harness, transom lock, and outboard cowl cover.

Caje here. I'm not sold. 3.5 HP Mercury outboard goes for $899.
If I was to go total electric, I'd rather have a 55lb min kota with a couple of deep cycle batteries for a LOT less money.
