The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Coda Automotive announced that it will bring a Chinese built all eletric family sedan to America in the latter half of 2010. The company is working to get a five star crash rating, including a passenger-side occupant detection airbag. The battery will come from China's Lishen and the car will be available in the low to mid $30,000 range. It is expected to be able to between 90 to 120 miles on a five and a half hour charge. The company is still working to meet U.S. government safety requirements.
