Chinese electric car at Detroit auto show

       BYD electric car

BYD, China’s largest manufacturer of cellphone batteries (the initials stand for Build Your Dreams) has been steadily developing electric automobiles under its BYD Auto group.

The company, 10% of which is owned by Warren Buffet’s Berkshire Hathaway group,  plans to enter the American market within the next two years.

The centerpiece of BYD Auto’s display in Detroit is the F3DM, the plug-in electric compact sedan introduced to great fanfare in China last month. Two hybrids, the midsize F6DM (introduced in Detroit last year) and the F3RDM, will also be shown.
