The electric car manufactering market will soon experience a significant challenge from China. BYD (check byd.com)is constructing its latest electric model the e6. Specifications stated on the web site indicate a range of over 400 kms per charge; 0 to 160 kph in 8 seconds; 50% recharge within 10 minutes by using your home plug-in.
BYD (Build Your Dreams) has developed a battery based on using iron (Fe) a cheaper element than the Ni Can most battery proponents are using. BYD also states that the battery life is about 6 years and then its components are completely recyclable.
Coming to North America in 2012.
If all this proves to be true, there is nothing currently on the market that competes with BYD's e6.

POWER AND PERFORMANCE
The e6 will be equipped with a 75kW motor and the BYD-developed Fe battery, powering the e6 to a range of 186.4 miles on a single charge in urban conditions. This makes it one of the longest-range, pure EVs in the world. The projected top speed is 87mph. These characteristics make the e6 ideal for daily commutes, city driving and even long distance travel. In addition, during braking, deceleration and downhill coasting, the vehicle's kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in battery packs through regenerative-braking functions, further improving energy utilization to increase the e6's range.
