Who is CODA?
CODA was a US electric-car maker based in California. Its identity was closely tied to battery technology and electric propulsion: the company developed an all-electric four-door sedan, with battery systems central to its wider clean-technology business.
The Coda was a straightforward, mid-size family saloon rather than a specialist sports car. Its four doors, rear seating and boot made it suitable for everyday passenger use, while its electric drivetrain set it apart from conventional petrol-powered saloons.
What models did CODA make?
The range was exceptionally focused. The Coda is the sole model listed for the make, with the years shown running from 2012 to 2013. There are no separate model lines or later generations in that span: CODA’s passenger-car story centres on one electric saloon.
How did the Coda develop?
The Coda arrived as an electric car from the outset, rather than gaining an electric version after starting with a combustion engine. Its battery-powered motor meant it could be driven without petrol, and the company highlighted battery thermal management as part of the car’s design.
The 2012 and 2013 model years marked a brief attempt to establish a new American electric-car maker through a single practical saloon, rather than a growing family of body styles or generations.
Where was the Coda sold?
The Coda appears in United States EPA figures. Its presence there reflects CODA’s American identity and the car’s original market focus. No European, UK, French or Canadian market figures appear for this model on TheCarCodex.
