California-Only Electrocars

The CODA Electric Sedan is a Golden State Exclusive

— April 29, 2010 — Autos
The CODA electric sedan's exclusivity to California proves what everyone in the Golden State already knows: California is the best state in the union. California has the best beaches, the least tornadoes and the most electric car dealers. Your move, Montana.

CODA Automotive is bringing the CODA electric sedan to California by the end of 2010. The CODA sedan gets between 90 and 120 miles per charge, and has a top speed of 80 mph. CODA is aiming to make more than a tiny splash in the California car market, aiming to move 14,000 cars by the end of 2011.

Hopefully, the CODA electric sedan catches on. The one thing California doesn't have is super clean air. Score one for Montana.
Trend Themes
1. California-only Electrocars - There could be an opportunity to expand the concept of California-only or state-specific electric cars to other states or regions with unique regulations or incentives for electric cars.
2. Electric Car Dealerships - As California currently has the most electric car dealerships in the US, there is a window for opening more electric car dealerships and service centers across the country, especially in regions where electric cars are growing in demand.
3. Extended Range Electric Vehicles - As the CODA electric sedan has an impressive range of between 90 and 120 miles per charge, there is potential for developing extended range electric cars that would have a range comparable to gas-powered vehicles, thereby reducing range anxiety and making electric cars more attractive to a broader audience.
Industry Implications
1. Electric Car Manufacturing - Manufacturers could benefit from producing electric cars for different regions or states with unique regulations and incentives that could create a market for state-specific or limited edition electric cars.
2. Electric Car Sales - The demand for electric cars is expected to increase in the coming years and companies could benefit from opening more dealerships and service centers to cater to this growing market, especially in regions where electric cars are gaining in popularity.
3. Electric Car Charging Stations - As electric cars become more popular, the demand for charging stations will also increase, creating an opportunity for innovation in the development and installation of charging infrastructure, including fast-charging solutions that can reduce charging times and expand the range of electric cars.
