Benefits of EVs
BYD uses an iron-based battery instead of a lithium battery to reduce high production costs, which
has prevented car makers from starting commercial manufacturing worldwide.

"The iron battery proves to have better safety performance and larger capacity. The cost could
also be lowered by using abundant resources and affordable raw materials," BYD said in an e-mail
statement.

Last year, the Hong Kong-listed company showed off an electric concept car, powered by the
same iron-based battery, that can be 70 percent recharged in just 10 minutes.

The Chinese government is encouraging domestic car makers to work hard on rolling out vehicles
using alternative fuels or applying fuel-cell and hybrid technology to lead the global automotive
industry.

BYD started making cars in 2005 with its first model, the F3 sedan. Its sales jumped to 51,000 in
the first half of this year, and its range includes a new hatchback F3.

The company aims to sell 100,000 cars this year, an increase of 67 percent from last year's 60,000
units.
