Mazda CEO Indicates Electric MX-5 Miata Is Under Consideration, But Battery Weight Poses a Challenge

Mazda is exploring the possibility of an all-electric MX-5 Miata, according to CEO Masahiro Moro. While acknowledging the need for the iconic roadster to embrace battery power eventually, Moro emphasized that managing the added weight of EV components remains a significant hurdle for maintaining the Miata's signature lightweight driving dynamics. This suggests Mazda is cautiously approaching the electrification of its beloved sports car.
