chinese to debut plug in hybrid in 08

BYD will make its first U.S. appearance in January at the Detroit show, where it will display its conventional gasoline-powered vehicles as well as the F6DM (for "dual mode") hybrid. The F6DM reportedly can be driven about 60 miles in electric mode and nearly 270 miles by using the gasoline engine as a generator to charge the battery pack. Top speed is 100 mph. BYD said the batteries can be recharged to 70 percent of capacity in just 10 minutes.
