Coda Automotive Biography

CODA Automotive Inc. is a privately held American company headquartered in Los Angeles, California , that designs, semi manufactures, and sells electric vehicles (EVs) and Lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery systems built for automotive and power storage utility applications.[1] Miles Automotive partnered with Harbin-based Hafei and Qingyuan Electric Vehicle Co. to establish Coda Automotive as an affiliate company.[3][4] The word CODA is a musical term that denotes the concluding passage of a piece of music, from the Italian word coda (tail). CODA Automotive has said that it chose the name because its electric vehicle technology represents an end for combustion engine vehicles and the start of the electric vehicle era.[5]

CODA’s first vehicle, the Coda all-electric sedan, is a four-door, five passenger electric car powered by a battery pack that delivers a United States Environmental Protection Agency rated range of 88 mi (142 km), the longest among its class, although considerably less than the Tesla Roadster and Tesla Model S among electric cars available in the U.S.[6] The electric car was released in March 2012,[7] and initially is available only in California.[8][9]
In June 2009, CODA announced the creation and funding of LIO Energy Systems,[10] a global joint-venture with Lishen Power Battery. LIO Energy Systems was formed with the purpose of designing, manufacturing and selling battery systems for electric vehicles and utility applications. LIO Energy Systems will supply battery systems to CODA Automotive for use in the all-electric CODA, to other automotive OEMs globally, and to renewable energy producers, utilities and other power storage customers.
