EV Work’s popular EV Miata kit now allows AC and DC options

Sept. 20, 2011 - PRLog -- EV Works, announced today that their popular EV Miata kit now supports AC motors and controllers. EV Work’s EV Miata kit is designed to bolt in to a first generation Mazda Miata, allowing EV enthusiasts, conversion shops or schools to convert a Miata to 100% electric drive.

Up to this point, the drive components supported by the EV Miata Kit were limited to DC. A revised motor mount now allows for a number of different motor and controller combinations – including those using AC. With the addition of AC, the EV Miata kit now supports the widest range of motors and controllers on the market today. AC is known for its efficiency and support of regenerative braking – allowing the motor to operate as a generator during braking. These advantages make AC a smart choice for long range electric vehicles.

“AC Support in the EV Miata kit allows you to build an electric Miata to go as fast or as far as you want - up to 90 miles on a single charge”, explained Patrick Mackey, General Manager of EV Works.

The EV Works EV Miata kit is available to enthusiasts who wish to do the electric conversion themselves, conversion shops and schools. For more information visit www.evmiata.com
