比亚迪这家中国车企和电池制造商已经凭借首款插电式混合动力汽车击败了通用、丰田和日产等竞争对手。目前，这家成立仅15年的公司正准备在美国市场推出其纯电动全尺寸E6车型，尽管它在美国还没有一家经销商。比亚迪的竞争优势在于其自主研发的世界领先的电池技术。E6使用的是Fe铁磷酸盐锂离子电池，成本比标准锂离子电池低约50%，且寿命更长，可充电2000次，充满电后的续航里程为200英里。
The Chinese car-and-battery maker already beat GM, Toyota, and Nissan to market with the first plug-in hybrid. Now the 15-year-old company is on the verge of doing the same with its all-electric full-size E6 -- which BYD wants to start selling in the U.S. by the end of 2010, even though it doesn't yet have a single stateside dealership. BYD's major competitive advantage is that it develops world-leading battery technology in-house. The E6 uses the "Fe," BYD's lithium-ion ferrous phosphate battery. BYD says the battery not only costs about 50% less than standard lithium-ion batteries but also lasts longer, with an impressive expected life of 2,000 charge cycles and a range of 200 miles on a full charge. The battery's fluid is even nontoxic -- CEO Wang Chuan-Fu famously drank some last year to demonstrate. And in its quest for cheaper, cleaner batteries, the company has already begun investing in solar technology, calling it "new energy." That could be an apt name if BYD succeeds, not just for its own business but for the car industry.
