IT STARTS, IT DRIVES, AND IT'S OURS! CODA ELECTRIC BARN FIND UPDATE

EV Channels Review

This video documents the incredible revival of a Coda Electric sedan, a vehicle largely forgotten and left abandoned for a decade. The host expresses astonishment as the car, with only 50 miles on the odometer, not only starts but also drives after a 12-volt battery jump and tire inflation. Key highlights include the surprising discovery of the original keys, the car's ability to hold a 30% charge after 10 years, and the functionality of its AC and regenerative braking. Despite its 'ugly' aesthetic and a few minor issues like rusty brakes and a disintegrating interior wrap, the Coda's core electric components appear remarkably resilient. The reviewer is thrilled to acquire the car for restoration, praising its potential and historical significance as a piece of EV history. The dealership's generosity in providing the car for free is also a significant point, setting the stage for future restoration and review content.
