If anyone reading this knows any info on the Lear charger used in the Codas or the CAN Bus to control the charger; send all you know over to: [email protected] So that these chargers can be made use of. See here if you want to hack on the CAN Bus(check the sites messageboard too): http://store.evtv.me/proddetail.php?prod=Codaux Apparently the same charger is used in some other cars.
^^^ I might. I met someone in the Bay Area who used to work at Coda on the powertrain side. I think he's semi-active in the Bay Area EV community. I might even bump into him this weekend. When I first met him, I was w/some other EV folks and there was some discussion of CAN bus on the Coda.
I got a Google alert for coda today for this Local news from Rock Hill, SC | The Herald. If the link doesn't work right, go to Code: http://www.heraldonline.com/2014/11/10/6513647/colorados-first-all-electric-car.html?sp=/100/773/385/ Since the article is about eThos Car Share, I just had to LOL at what eThos Car Share proclaims! Huh?
Doubly bizarre is that they put a photo alongside that piece of text.... of the front quarter of a Model S!

Also, I just realized that PR piece at DENVER: Colorados First All-Electric Car Share Service Launches in Colorado | Business Wire | Rock Hill Herald Online says Really? I don't think that's right either. AFAIK, the US DriveNow fleet (DriveNow) was all-electric for a time, if isn't still. Their cars were solely BMW ActiveE's and they were supposed to add some i3's in the fleet (not sure if they'd add the BEV or REx versions).
Car2Go has a number of disjoint markets, but some (eg. San Diego) are all-electric, using Electric Smarts. They've been going at least three years.

Some more details at http://www.autoblog.com/2014/11/20/mullen-700e-la-2014/. I definitely don't like how they're stretching the truth here. They're calling the original 88 mile on the EPA test 31 kWh car a "125 mile car". It's just like the "100 mile" Leaf BS that really set people up for disappointment. NOBODY at http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=11201 thought that's the right value to tell potential Leaf buyers. That kind of BS was going on at dealers and auto shows for a long time: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=13264.

Well, they're dead now. The first URL now leads to The Website of Tim Prior. The 2nd link is 404. I did stumble across The eThos ethos stating the service died in 2016. I was looking at CODA Energy and Our Latest Projects | CODA Energy and noticed their install dates were all in 2014. I then found Is the Third Time a Charm for Coda’s Energy Storage Business? which states in 2016: Somehow, I'm not too surprised. Seems like anything that sprang out of Miles Electric Vehicles, Coda, et al has had execution problems.
This thread is older than dirt by a day... A true classic. Just wondering, has anyone on here ever seen a Coda in the wild?
Yes, I had seen a few over the years. Mostly at EV events, and I did visit a CODA dealer back when they were open nearby.
Other than at EVents, I'm pretty sure I saw one on the road and I definitely saw another one parked. Both of these are years ago. Otherwise, sightings are extremely rare. Heck, I see those battering ram of death old GM two-mode hybrids (e.g. Tahoe Hybrid) more often than Codas.
If you are in San Diego area, I still have mine since day one. Full charge is 115 miles now, if you don’t go over 60mph and don’t use AC. When it was new I would get 125 miles per charge. Has over 70k miles and my kids use it now. Maintenance is tires and wipers.
Really awesome to hear from an actual Coda owner. I would rock one of these just for the curiosity factor.
