The company estimated that it would cost less than US$3, on average, to charge the vehicle overnight. The Coda sedan could be charged from depletion in under six hours when plugged into a level-two (220 V) charge station. The vehicle featured a 6.6 kW on board charger which charges the vehicle at a rate twice that of the Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt. The battery system featured an active thermal management system, which Coda Automotive stated would give the vehicle a more dependable range than other BEVs and improved battery system durability. The Coda had a top speed of 85 mph (137 km/h) electronically limited. Coda Automotive estimated the range to be up to 125 mi (201 km) under favorable operating conditions. The equivalent fuel economy rating for city/highway driving cycles are 77 / 68 mpg‑e (27 / 31 kWh/100 km). Under its five-cycle testing, the EPA rated the combined fuel economy equivalent at 73 mpg‑e (29 kWh/100 km), with a combined city/highway energy consumption of 46 kWh/100 mi (73 mpg‑e), the most efficient among all electric cars available in the U.S. The Coda basic model was powered by a 31 kWh LiFePOĤ (lithium ion iron phosphate) battery system that is substantially larger than that of other vehicles in its class. The last remaining unsold Codas were later bought up by electric car company Mullen Technologies, Inc., who are now selling them as the Mullen 700e. The company stated that it expects to emerge from the bankruptcy process to focus on energy storage solutions as it has decided to abandon car manufacturing.

Coda engineers modified the design to improve safety and successfully completed two of the tests necessary to gain Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards certification in the second quarter of 2009 the full frontal impact test at 35 miles per hour (56 km/h) and the 40% offset test at 45 miles per hour (72 km/h). The base Saibao chassis is based on the late-1990s Mitsubishi Lancer. The car was designed by Pininfarina and unveiled at the 2004 Beijing Auto Show. History The Miles Electric Vehicles XS500 prototype, the predecessor to the Coda sedan.Ĭoda Automotive re-engineered an existing gasoline-powered vehicle, the Hafei Saibao, in order to reduce the cost of building the Coda electric car from the ground-up.

This variant is produced by Hafei and sold in China as the Saibao Electric Motor Car or Hafei Saibao EV. The Coda adapted the body of the existing Hafei Saibao III, modifying the front and rear fascias. EPA's rated the Coda's combined fuel economy at 73 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (3.2 L/100 km). Īccording to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Coda's 31 kWh lithium ion iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery system delivers a range of 88 mi (142 km). The car was sold exclusively in California and only 117 units were delivered by April 2013. After being rescheduled several times, deliveries to retail customers in the United States began in March 2012.
