‘Plug and play’ conversion package for first-generation Miata provides 160 hp, 150 miles of range and is only 220 lbs heavier
Electrogenic’s conversion kit for the MX-5 gives the NA Miata 160 hp and 150 miles of real-world range. Weight is up by 220 lbs, but still low by EV standards at just 2,425 lbs, and the weight distribution is identical. The UK-based company already produces ‘drop-in’ EV kits for the original Land Rover, classic Mini and Porsche 911.
Yes, the 115 mph top speed sounds less impressive - and it’s very close to stock - but irrelevant in a car that has always been about cornering fun. And Electrogenic says there’s more of that to be had because the weight distribution is the same as on a donor MX-5, but a huge jump in torque from 100 lb-ft to 229 lb-ft gives you more opportunities to exploit the chassis. Naturally there’s a weight penalty, even if the distribution is the same, but it’s not terrible.
