Coda Sedan

CODA, an American automotive company based in Santa Monica, California, is determined to see the era of combustion engines to its end.
The four-door, five-passenger Sedan is a pure BEV, using a lithium-iron phosphate battery with 134-hp and an impressive 221 lb-feet of torque to achieve a 90-120 mile range. Speed is electronically limited to 80-mph. The battery system, governed by CODA’s signature battery management system, can be charged with a standard 110v charger or optional 220v charger; the 220v charger will fully charge a battery in under six hours. The battery pack is covered by an 8-year, 100,000 mile warranty. CODA estimates that driving 100 miles should cost approximately $3 with average electricity costs.

Amenities are sufficient. An infotainment touchscreen interface is the technophilic medium between driver and car, and a hands-free phone is the medium between driver and people.The CODA Sedan is a step forward, but not a giant leap of progress. But progress it still is, and CODA will likely sell its target 10,000 vehicles in 2011...
