Duel mode sounds interesting like the next advancement past hybrid. This car would be a hit in the states but BYD will need to position themselves soon. I work personally for an advertising agency and all of the planning, internet, agency work, events, etc. to pre-sell and position the brand ahead of the launch take time...BYD could potentially be an import leader. this car is very impressive…would love to know the features.

The max life of the battery is around the 600,000km. Maximum speed is not the fast, 160km/h If u buy this car and charge it at home, will cost u 9 hours for 430km distance. BYD is building or planning or has already finished in cooperation with existing petrol station an eletric recharge station which cost 10 minutes to recharge your battery for 50%, so it is right that it will cost 20 minutes to recharge fully.

The next day or later that same day a sign would appear that you can charge up your electrical car here for five Yuan maybe even four Yuan.

Who Killed The Electric Car? EV vehicles go a long way to solving reliance on fossil-fuel and the resulting political and economic instability. Please don't negate this by saying that they are charged using fossil fuel. 1) they don't have to be. 2) the charging is much more efficient than the ICE.

In Guangzhou all motorbikes and electric cycles are banned from the city streets for safety reasons (drive by theft mostly) but if they start making electric cars the local govt would most likely change the rules for them..... after a few incentives of course.... don't know how the batteries will last with people sitting on the horn so the pedestrians know they are there though, especially seeing no one looks when crossing the road.

Not often we hear of original ideas coming from Chinese manufacturers... big thumbs up :) My guess is BYD (senior) was looking for new ways to make cash so did a bit of R&D and came up with the new idea for a battery, hope the specs are good when they come out.
