FYI: The April 1st edition of the PBS TV program Autoline Detroit featured a interview with a CODA executive.

His company's stated goal is constant, dependable and reliable range which did not fluctuate so much with driving style and terrain.

The apparent concept here is to eliminate or minimize range anxiety.

CODA Electric Vehicle, Electric Cars, Zero Emissions EV Car, Electric Vehicles | CODA Automotive

A very conventional car, one you might choose to do a hit & run in it's so freaking non-descriptive.

Then again, I bet their marketing shows that a futuristic or progressive aerodynamic looking electric car would scare most consumers off.
