Las baterías serán de iones de litio y podrán ampliar la autonomía en 100 km. De mantenerse inalterado respecto al comercializado en China, acelerará de 0 a 100 km/h en 10,5 segundos, tendrá una velocidad máxima de 160 km/h y una potencia final combinando los dos motores de 168 CV.
La importación correrá a cargo de BYD Europa, con sede en Rotterdam (Holanda) y las primeras unidades estarán listas a partir del 1 de enero de 2010.
El segundo modelo en desembarcar será el e6 MPV, visto en el pasado Salón de Shanghái en versión muy avanzada y que estará disponible en dos versiones, 75 y 200 kW.
El BYD e6 75 kW tiene una potencia equivalente a 100 CV en un motor térmico, acelera de 0 a 50 km/h en 5,0 segundos, alcanza los 140 km/h de velocidad máxima y tiene una autonomía de 300 km. El tiempo de recarga estimado es de 7 horas.
El BYD e6 200 kW tiene una potencia equivalente a 272 CV en un motor térmico, acelera de 0 a 100 km/h en 8,0 segundos, pero alcanza una velocidad máxima de 160 km/h. La autonomía estimada es de 400 km y el tiempo de recarga de 7 horas.
En cualquier caso estos datos podrían variar según la homologación europea. Hay que destacar que todos los BYD tendrán garantía de tres años y estarán equipados con aire acondicionado, elevalunas eléctricos, cierre centralizado, radio CD, llantas de aleación, dirección asistida, ABS + EBD, airbags frontales y un cargador trifásico de 400v.
Los precios y otros detalles se conocerán poco antes de su lanzamiento. Los tres modelos ya están incluidos en el Plan MOVELE del IDAE.

F3DM: The Second, Smaller, Plug-in Hybrid by China’s BYD
There’s no doubt that BYD (aka Build Your Dreams) has a certain advantage over other companies that are trying to bring a plug-in (or electric car) to market: They are China’s biggest battery maker, and number two worldwide.
And they are very hungry. Already we learn that the F6DM will be followed by the smaller and less expensive F3DM. If the F6DM is close to a Camry, the F3DM is very similar to a Corolla.
The F3DM uses BYD’s self-developed iron batteries, which the company said could be recharged for more than 2,000 times and can power the car to run over 600,000 miles. The car equipped with BYD’s batteries can travel as long as 100 miles after one charge, much longer than the 25-mile duel model vehicles offered by other automakers.
The 100 miles per charge is for electric-mode only. If you need to drive more than that distance, a small gasoline engine (a 1.0 liter in the F6DM, not sure yet about the F3DM) will recharge the battery and extend the range of the car. But since most people drive a lot less than 100 miles per day, this generator would be needed very little, meaning very low emissions.
Wang Chaunfu, BYD’s Chairman, also said that he plans to introduce a dual mode sedan (probably the F6DM first) in Europe within 2-3 years.
BYD E6 Electric Car
BYD, China’s biggest battery maker, isn’t wasting any time carving its niche in the new world of electric cars and plug-in hybrids. It all started with the F6DM plug-in hybrid sedan, followed by the smaller and less expensive F3DM plug-in hybrid compact car.
Now BYD has introduced its E6 electric car at the Beijing International Auto Show. It takes the shape of a crossover, or MPV, and will be built on on the F6’s platform (same as the F6DM, which could be sold in Europe by 2010).
BYD E6 Electric Vehicle Specifications
So far, all we know is that the E6 will be a 5 seater with an acceleration of 0 to 100 kph of around 10 seconds. Top speed should be top speed of 160 kph (100 mph), and the battery pack, which is located under the rear passenger seats, will be based on BYD’s own lithium-ion iron phosphate technology. Range per charge is expected to be 300 km (186 miles).
"BYD projected the battery had a life of 2,000 cycles, for a lifetime range of about 600,000 km (373,000 miles)"
