BYD E6 Electric Vehicle features:
We know is that the E6 will be a 5 seater with an acceleration of 0 to 100 kph of around 10 seconds.
The E6 features a far more advanced exterior design than most of BYD's models and, in pure electric mode, can carry five passengers an estimated 249 miles. By comparison, Ford's long-range electric car planned for 2011 goes 100 miles on a single charge. Like a conventional electric car, it can juice up in approximately eight hours with a conventional charge. With a high-capacity power charger it will be able to achieve a full charge in three hours. Amazingly, at a fast-charge station the car can quick-charge to 50% in ten minutes, allowing someone to travel an estimated 120 miles.
The BYD battery pack is capable of producing at minimum approximately 101 HP but, with a full battery pack and larger motor, an estimated 269 HP. The full configuration will, according to the company, propel the vehicle to 60 MPH in less than eight seconds with a top speed of approximately 100 MPH.
The E6 concept remains a concept, though one BYD seems intent on producing.
BYD Auto plans to introduce a mass-market electric vehicle in China in about two years. The BYD e6 vehicle has a projected range of 300 km (186 miles) on a single charge. BYD plans to bring the same car to North America and Europe eventually. The company is developing its own large format lithium ion iron phosphate batteries for use in hybrids and electric vehicles. BYD is also designing the motors, control systems and software for the DM technology
