CODA Automotive Announces ZEV Credit Sales

CODA will be entitled to over 50,000 ZEV credits under its planned 2011 California distribution of more than 14,000 five passenger, four door all-electric sedans.

Later this year CODA will begin limited deliveries of its first electric car, the CODA Sedan, with space for five and designed to meet the day-to-day needs of most American consumers.

CODA’s innovative 33.8 kWh lithium ion batteries, complete with an active thermal management system, will set it apart from the competition enabling consumers to travel a dependable 90-120 miles in real world driving on a single charge.

With the CODA the garage becomes a filling station, requiring less than six hours for a full charge using a 220V charger or just under two hours for a short 40 mile commute.

Deposits for the CODA sedan will be available beginning August 2010 at CODAAutomotive.com.
