With the niche guys like Mazda I figure they could be able to work closely with bigger companies. Already it seems that car companies do this a fair bit. The new Fiat and Miata have basically the same innards for example.
I could imagine that in the future the big car companies aren't going to be that interested in making a small electric sportscar, but they could partner with Mazda to make a Miata electric.
- JKCalhoun 9y agoElectric Miata? Would buy!
- PhantomGremlin 9y agoI don't know about that. Would it weigh 500 more pounds because of batteries? If so, it won't be anything like the current gas powered Miata.
- JKCalhoun 9y agoTrue. The weight from the loss of the engine would not be equaled by the motors replacement ... but in general you are correct — the net weight would go up quite a bit.
