Survey says!

I've gotten a number of questions about providing a conversion kit for the Miata so back in August of last year I posted a survey to determine what kind of kit people were interested in. The link was on all pages of the main www.evmiata.com site and asked you to vote for the components, battery and kit type that you'd like to see.

The choices were:

components
  • 156v WarP/Zilla
  • 144v WarP/Curtis
  • 144v WarP/Belktronix
  • 144v Selectria
Batteries
  • AGM
  • Lithium
  • Flooded lead acid
Kit Type
  • Basic - Battery racks, brackets, motor mount and adapter
  • Standard - all the above plus motor charger, controller and associated parts
  • Complete - all the above plus bolts, cable ties and pre-terminated cables

The results were pretty impressive:

  • 405 total surveys taken
  • 180 votes (45%) went with the 156v WarP/Zilla route
  • 29 votes (7%) went with the 144v WarP/Curtis route
  • 57 votes (14%) went with the 144v WarP/Belktronix route
  • 137 votes (34%) went with the 144v Solectria route

Of those voting for the 156v WarP/Zilla...

  • 102 votes (57%) were for AGM
  • 65 votes (36%) were for Lithium
  • 13 votes (7%) were for Flooded
And for those voting for 156v WarP/Zilla with AGM...
  • 27 votes (26%) were for Basic kits
  • 26 votes (25%) were for Standard kits
  • 49 votes (48%) were for Complete kits
So, as they say in politics, the people have spoken.
I'm closing down the survey today.

Thanks to all of you who participated in the survey!
