Our EV Miata Kit was designed to be safe, easy to install, and support a number of available components and battery chemistries.

Safety requirements include

  • Steel battery racks are bolted to the vehicle's frame rails and are designed to secure the batteries in the event of an impact

  • Fully insulated high voltage terminals keeps wandering fingers from coming in contact with pack voltage

  • Both battery options are sealed to reduce or eliminate the possibility of spills of damaging or toxic electrolyte

Ease of installation requirements

  • No welding required

  • Minimal "heavy" work - the engine needs to be removed, but the transmission and rear sub-frame does not

  • Common hand and power tools used throughout

  • Clear, step by step instructions with illustrations

Two battery types are also supported

  • Lead-Acid Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM)

  • Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO).

The kit is design to handle either battery type which allows an easy upgrade path from lead acid to lithium if the owner so desires.

Battery Racks

  1. The Nose Rack sits in the nose of the car and holds 4 Group 34 AGM batteries, or 16 90 or 100 AH LiFePO cells.

  2. The Top Rack sits above the motor and holds 4 Group 34 AGM batteries, or 17 90 or 100 AH LiFePO cells. It also provides the mounting points for the vacuum pump, DC/DC converter and High Voltage Enclosure bracket.

  3. The Trunk Rack sits below the trunk floor so that trunk space is optimized. The Trunk Rack holds 5 Group 34 AGM batteries, or 24 90 or 100 AH LiFePO cells.

Other configurations are available for 40 or 60 AH  LiFePO batteries.

Brackets

  1. The Motor Mount firmly mounts the WarP 9” DC motor to the front subframe.

  2. The Controller mounts on the Controller/Charger bracket above the Nose Rack and will support a number of different controller options. This bracket allows for 6" of hood clearance toward the forward edge and 8" of clearance at the rear. The bracket is 28.75" wide and 10.75" long. This bracket will provide a secure mounting point for a number or different controller and charger options.

  3. The front mounted Charger also mounts on the Controller/Charger bracket above the Nose Rack. For larger chargers of controllers, the charger could be mounted in the trunk - see item E below.

  4. The High Voltage Enclosure mounts on the HVE bracket on driver side of the Top Rack. It contains the Contactor, Controller Fuse, Auxiliary Relay and Ammeter Shunt.

  5. The optional Rear Charger Bracket can be custom ordered. It mounts in the trunk and can be designed to hold a charger just below the charging port. Mounting the charger in this location allows larger controllers or chargers to be used.
