1991 Miata MX-5 EV:

This conversion near completion. This vehicle will demonstrate the Clamshell drive system with a CVT, OCTOPOD battery modules as well as our "Little Sucker" micro processor controlled cooling/heating system. The complete bolt-in system has a range of over 100km with fast charging capabilities. The vehicle retains near 50/50 weight distribution and is exciting to drive. The CVT transmission allows this vehicle to accelerate very quick  even with with the small 120V AC motor. 

The Miata has been chosen for it's many EV-esque qualities.  It's lightweight and simple, so it will be easy to convert.  There are literally millions of them on the road, and they are a well built vehicle.   It's a classic roadster layout, built with the enthusiast in mind.  Mazda maintains the Miata is one of the most commonly raced production vehicles made, and we believe it.  It has 4 wheel disc brakes, Independent rear suspension, maintains near perfect 50/50 weight distribution.
