F3E's battery is three times bigger than F3DM. But F3E is not released yet. Volt's battery pack is based on inferior technology. Either LG or A123's battery pack will be over-priced and less mature compared to BYD's offerings. The game in EV or HEV is battery pack production quality, which BYD is undoubtedly leading the pack.

The battery can be charged half full with special high voltage station which you don't find in your house. As far as I know, the car will take 7 hours to recharge with a home power plug.

Chinese cars have a pretty rotten reputation to overcome and the claim about a 600,000 mile battery and 10 minute recharge time, are both pure fiction. The battery pack, in fact will last about 1/2 as long as the Volt's, which will last 10 plus years. And if the battery pack could be recharged in as little as 10 minutes, there would be little need for an EREV version. get your facts straight before publishing your error -filled articles, please. This is embarrassing. While the BYD will provide very stiff competition for the Volt.
