A new electric car manufacturer, Coda Automotive, announced today that it will introduce a full-performance, all-electric sedan to the California market – next year. The vehicle features a 33.8 kWh, 333V lithium iron phosphate battery pack with an 8-year, 100,000-mile warranty. The batteries are being supplied by Tianjin Lishen Battery.

Coda’s sedan takes about six hours to charge, and delivers a range of between 90 to 120 miles, with a top speed of 80 mph. The car also comes with factory-standard equipment, like navigation, a green screen that monitors efficiency, roadside assistance, Bluetooth system, power windows, doors, and mirrors, anti-lock brakes, advanced airbags with an occupant detection system – and for all you Howard Stern fans – Sirius satellite capability. About 2,700 vehicles will hit the market in 2010, with production capacity set to reach 2

CODA claims that the CODA 4-door Sedan will be the first mainstream all-electric vehicle available in the United States that will provide the type of utility needed for normal day-to-day tasks. The 90-100 mile minimum range covers 94% of commuter trips in the United States according to statistics from the Bureau of transportation.
