I've seen/test driven the Coda at one of the big EV events in So Cal just a couple months ago. Pretty under-whelming, but it had decent range, and a good price.
New Yourk times calls it 'bare-bones'. But if getting around is all you need . . . . .

" . . . As with all electric vehicles, the key to range is battery capacity. Coda’s 31-kilowatt-hour battery surpasses the Leaf, which has 24-kilowatt-hour pack, and the Focus Electric’s 23 kilowatt-hour pack. (Coda says it will offer a 36 kilowatt-hour battery this year.) Coda also uses an active thermal management system to preserve range in cold and hot weather; it uses air to do the work of regulating temperature, rather than liquid like the Focus Electric. . . . . . .
