China Auto E6

BYD is kind of a strange company. The Chinese automaker has $250 million from Warren Buffett plus a partnership with Daimler to build a four-door electric sedan, although it hasn’t yet produced an EV of its own. The company said that it put a plug-in hybrid the F3DM on sale in China this past December, but it hasn’t actually appeared in dealerships. BYD also had plans to put its electric e6 sedan in U.S showrooms by 2009–a plan that was recently deferred to late 2010. In February, a BYD spokesman denied any further delays with the e6.
