    BYD Chairman and President Wang Chuanfu stressed the quick-charge nature of their Fe batteries. When zapped with their special charging unit, batteries can gain a 50-percent charge in only ten minutes, and a full charge in just one hour. Overnight charging to 100-percent capacity using 110-volts requires 7.5 hours.

    BYD also claimed that their new Fe batteries were capable of 2000 charge cycles, and had excellent durability. Batteries create voltage based on internal chemistry, and knowledge of this particular iron mix has been around for years. Sometimes called the Super-Iron battery, the chemistry is related to other lithium cells. The benefits of the BYD Fe design is that the materials it can use for its cells cost less and are more readily recyclable than competitive batteries using materials such as cobalt.

    According to BYD, the cells are also safe in regards to crash testing and extreme heat loads. Both of these characteristics are important for battery electric vehicles (BEV) and hybrids because these vehicles carry hundreds of individual cells packed together in multi-cell arrays.

    BYD just started selling the F3DM plug-in for approximately $22,000 in China.
