As reported by CODA Automotive
HONOLULU - CODA Automotive, a privately held American company that designs, manufactures and sells all-electric vehicles and battery systems for transportation and utility related applications, today announced its intent to distribute the CODA Sedan to consumer and fleet customers in Hawai'i in the third quarter of 2011.
The CODA Sedan will be one of the first affordably priced, all-electric vehicles on the road in the U.S. when CODA begins limited deliveries at the end of 2010. The CODA Sedan is a four-door, five-passenger car, powered by an all-electric drive system, including a CODA-designed 33.8 kWh Lithium-ion battery system with 40 percent more usable energy that any electric vehicle in its class. CODA's proprietary battery management and thermal management systems keep the battery within a specified temperature range which enhances safety and durability, and allows for a consistent and dependable range of up to 120 miles across all U.S. weather conditions.
Under the Hawai'i Clean Energy Initiative launched by Governor Lingle and the U.S. Department of Energy in 2008, Hawai'i's vision is to have clean energy account for 70 percent of its total energy needs by 2030.
Over 100,000 miles of use, each CODA Sedan will result in an average CO2 savings of 21.8 tons relative to a 25 MPG internal combustion engine-based car.
CODA Automotive executives are participating in the Asia-Pacific Clean Energy Summit (August 30 – September 2) at the Hawai'i Convention Center.
