It looks like someone else is jumping into the electric vehicle market. The company is called CODA. The car will be built in China and will be sold only in California beginning next year. Looks a bit plain, but at least the EV choices keep expanding.

Like everyone else, the manufacturer is shooting for the 100-mile range.. Despite being painfully similar to a lot of other things going on in the EV scene, the CEO of Coda says, “The Coda sedan is an all-electric vehicle for everyone. It’s a practical revolution for real drivers who need reliable transportation.” Here are some of the specs:

• 90-100 mile range on a full charge
• 0-60 mph in under 11 seconds
• Full recharge in 6 hours with 220v outlet
• Electronically limited to 80 mph
• Company expects to get a five-star safety rating

The price? $45,000. However, with California State subsidies, the real price will likely be in the mid-$30,000s, which is on par with the Chevy Volt.

Hopefully China won’t demand that spyware be installed in the car!
