Called HQZ Tower at 6 miles out for inbound full stop taxi back. HQZ Tower replies report 2 mile right base Runway 18. Around 2.5 miles we are about to call and report our position. All electronics go out - no radio; transponder; flaps; etc. Only screen that worked was EFIS 1 and 2 which ran on batteries. I instructed student to keep flying while I pull out the POH and run an emergency checklist for electrical failure. Checklist doesn't work. I take controls and exit the airspace. We divert to ZZZ. Land on the ground; and immediately call HQZ tower to let them know what happened; where we are; and that we are A-Okay.
Light Sport Aircraft Instructor reported executing an uneventful diversion due to a total electrical failure during a training flight.
