Electrogenic Unveils EV Conversion Kit for First-Generation Mazda Miata

The plug-and-play kit transforms the classic roadster into an electric vehicle with improved performance and a 150-mile range.

  • Electrogenic's new EV conversion kit is designed specifically for the 1989–1997 Mazda Miata (MX-5), offering a fully electric alternative for the classic sports car.
  • The kit includes a 42 kWh battery pack and a 160-horsepower electric motor, improving the Miata's power-to-weight ratio by 21% and reducing its 0–60 mph time to 6 seconds.
  • The conversion preserves the Miata's renowned 50:50 weight distribution and handling characteristics, while adding approximately 220 pounds to the car's weight.
  • The EV conversion is reversible, retains trunk space, and provides a real-world range of over 150 miles with the ability to fast charge in about one hour via CCS plug.
  • Electrogenic's CEO highlighted the growing interest in electrifying classic cars and emphasized the kit's ability to maintain the Miata's iconic driving experience.
