E6 Electric Car from China
BYD, China’s biggest battery maker, isn’t wasting any time carving its niche in the new world of electric cars and plug-in hybrids. It all started with the F6DM plug-in hybrid sedan, followed by the smaller and less expensive F3DM plug-in hybrid compact car.
Now BYD has introduced its E6 electric car at the Beijing International Auto Show. It takes the shape of a crossover, or MPV, and will be built on on the F6’s platform (same as the F6DM, which could be sold in Europe by 2010).
BYD E6 Electric Vehicle Specifications:
So far, all we know is that the E6 will be a 5 seater with an acceleration of 0 to 100 kph of around 10 seconds. Top speed should be top speed of 160 kph (100 mph), and the battery pack, which is located under the rear passenger seats, will be based on BYD’s own lithium-ion iron phosphate technology. Range per charge is expected to be 300 km (186 miles).
But most impressive of all:
“BYD projected the battery had a life of 2,000 cycles, for a lifetime range of about 600,000 km (373,000 miles)”
Wow! Even if thats just half true, it’s still pretty good.
