MIATA owners around the world now have a straightforward way to bring their beloved sports cars into the electric age. Electrogenic, a global EV technology leader known for making classic models future-ready, has introduced a 'plug-and-play' conversion kit that transforms the Mazda MX-5 (Miata) into a clean, electric-powered roadster — without compromising the car's renowned handling and character.The conversion kit is designed to be installed by a trained mechanic in a matter of days, eliminating the need for extensive fabrication or irreversible changes. Leveraging Electrogenic's proprietary powertrain technology, integration software, and top-grade components, the kit fits seamlessly into the Miata's existing chassis. No cutting or drilling is required, ensuring that the car's original structure remains intact and the process is completely reversible.Electrogenic's engineering team worked carefully to preserve the Miata's signature driving feel. Despite adding electric components, the electrified MX-5 weighs only about 100 kilograms more than the original version, keeping weight distribution identical and even improving the power-to-weight ratio by approximately 21 percent. The result is a familiar, balanced driving experience enhanced by the instant torque of an electric motor.In terms of range and charging, the converted Miata can cover over 150 miles in real-world conditions on a single charge, making it well-suited for weekend getaways and spirited back-road driving. When it's time to recharge, the MX-5's CCS rapid-charging capability can bring the battery back to full power in about one hour, letting enthusiasts get back to the open road with minimal downtime.The battery packs — 42 kilowatt-hour in total — are strategically placed under the hood and in the space once occupied by the fuel tank, preserving trunk space and keeping the center of gravity low. This careful packaging ensures that the MX-5's nimble, responsive dynamics remain front and center. The electric Miata can reach 60 mph in around six seconds, top out near the original car's speed of 115 mph, and deliver a more immediate and flexible driving experience than ever before.Another highlight of Electrogenic's kit is the ability to tailor the driving experience via selectable drive modes. With the company's proprietary Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) technology, owners can choose an 'Eco' setting for maximum efficiency and range, or switch to 'Sport' mode for sharper throttle response and enhanced regenerative braking. The result is a car that can adapt to daily commutes, weekend jaunts, and high-spirited drives at the driver's command.Electrogenic's Miata conversion kit joins the company's growing lineup of solutions for other iconic models, including the DeLorean DMC-12, Jaguar E-type, Porsche 911, and classic Mini, as well as Land Rover Defender and Series models. Offered globally through a network of vetted installer partners, these kits enable enthusiasts to modernize their cherished vehicles with minimal hassle and maximum confidence.By combining zero tailpipe emissions, modern reliability, and the timeless joy of the Miata's handling, Electrogenic's conversion kit ensures that one of the world's most beloved roadsters is ready for a sustainable future, offering decades of open-air driving pleasure with a new electric heart.
