The BYD F6DM (originally the F6e) is a planned plug-in hybrid mid-size sedan announced for production in the second half of 2008. The manufacturer, Chinese automaker BYD Auto, is owned by BYD Company Limited, China's largest mobile phone battery maker.
The F6DM was introduced at the 2008 North American International Auto Show.
Based on the BYD F6, the F6DM uses lithium iron phosphate battery, a type of li-ion battery under trade name "Ferrous"[1], that can be recharged to 70 percent of capacity in 10 minutes.[2]
BYD claims that a test model can travel 60 miles on electric power before the gasoline engine will be needed, and that the battery can be fully recharged from an outlet in nine hours.[3]
