Electric cars update 2013 ...China, BYD can't mass produce now

BYD delays all electric car mass production Mar 17, 2010 fastcompany.com

BYD Chinese automaker $250m from Warren Buffett

and a partnership with Daimler to build a four-door electric

sedan, but as of yet it hasn't produced an EV of its own. Now it

looks like BYD's ambitions of leading the EV revolution have

been destroyed as the company announces that it won't mass-

produce EVs at all unless a test run of 100 electric taxis in

Shenzhen is successful.
