A global automotive manufacturer’s technical director of a recent test drive of the BYD all-electric vehicles E6. He told the “Wall Street Journal,” says BYD plans later this year in China, the next year in the United States an immature market such a car, he was really shocked.
The executive said he was feeling rough from time to time test drive, which means that computer-controlled vehicle technology problems, the car control is not smooth.
BYD said the end of next year will begin to enter the United States, the introduction of BYD E6.
The company plans to first in the United States to select a particular area test in water, for government agencies, Dell Inspiron 1525 battery， Dell Inspiron 1526 battery utility companies and other corporate customers, “Hundreds of” E6 electric vehicles, each priced at slightly more than 40,000 U.S. dollars.
This is a risky move, because the battery-powered cars a key technology ─ ─ big storage capacity, energy and strong lithium-ion battery, the price is still too expensive, and related technologies are still considered immature. Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota Motor Corp.) In 2008, had planned to use this technology, but then postponed at least two of the technology in the company’s products use. Toyota’s recent decision in the plan later this year in Japan and the United States introduced the use of plug-in hybrids lithium-ion batteries, but it is just a trial using this technology, because Toyota plans to introduce a small amount is only for the corporate clients of this plug-in car.
One big question is: a start-up companies such as BYD, its technology is not mature enough to introduce the quality and performance issues of lithium-ion battery-powered car?
Although as a lithium-ion battery and car manufacturer BYD may be leaps and bounds, but it is delivering on its promise in product launch track record is not how, and someDell Inspiron 5100 battery， Dell Inspiron 5150 battery industry observers suspicious, some minor technical issues may be plagued the company’s green cars. In addition to E6, the BYD’s green vehicles also include a charge called F3DM hybrid sedan.
BYD began late last year to sell F3DM cars for corporate clients, but since then has been unable to supply to customers, even though the company has said it plans in June this year, will be F3DM market.
BYD chairman Wang Chuanfu said, F3DM reason to defer to market because of BYD are waiting for the Chinese government has introduced to encourage the private Dell Inspiron 5100 battery， Dell Inspiron 5150 battery of “new energy vehicles” policy. He said that this price is about 150,000 yuan (about 22,000 U.S. dollars) plug-in hybrid car in China is too expensive for ordinary consumers and that the car need to be subsidized in order to sell out.
However, regardless of whether the Chinese government promulgated sales incentives, E6 electric car test drive experience, as well as the unavailability of the F3DM BYD cars supplied to the private clients this point, gave the company’s domestic and foreign clients to target the supply of branded cars E6 a question mark.
