Our EV Miata Kit was designed to be safe, easy to install, and support both Lead-Acid and Lithium battery types.

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 will also be available

  • Lead-Acid Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM)

  • Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO).

The kit is design to handle either battery type which allows an easy upgrade 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. It also provides the mounting points for the high voltage enclosure bracket and Zivan charger bracket.

  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 controller 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 High Voltage Enclosure Bracket sits above the nose rack on the driver side and contains the Contactor, Controller Fuse, Auxiliary Relay and Ammeter Shunt.

  3. The Zivan charger bracket mounts above the Nose Rack and supports the Zivan on board charger.

  4. The Controller Bracket provides a mounting point for the controller. A bracket is available for the Zilla 1K. Other brackets may be available at a later date.

  5. The optional Rear Charger Bracket can be custom ordered. It mounts in the trunk and can be designed to hold a Warp or Manzanita-Micro PFC charger just below the charging port. The Zivan Bracket and charger would not be required when one of these optional chargers is used.
