Despite being described as a not so credible competitor by its Japanese rival Honda, BYD will fiercely fight to gain marketshare. In its "<a href="US$">5 things you should know about the F3 DM</a>", the author on her 4th point noted that in China the infrastructure is not suited for battery recharge at home, the reason is in a densely populated country, people live in 20 storey flat in general, you do easily imagine how hard it is, if you lived on the 2nd floor to plug your car !<br />Because the type of hybrid is quite new (Plug-in type, while the Prius is not of a plug-in type), we don't know yet the behavior in the long run of the BYD F3 DM. However, BYD will try to sell its new baby as soon as 2010 in the US, making an international debut. Its potential rival, <a href="http://www.usnews.com/blogs/fresh-greens/2008/12/18/chevy-volt-plant-construction-delayed.html">the Chevy Volt is delayed</a>, but one hope it is not delayed for too long :
<blockquote>
<p>A big part of what made the Volt notable is that it is ahead of the curve. If it becomes just another plug-in hybrid, the benefits to GM will be much smaller</p>
</blockquote>
<br style="clear:both" /> The Chevrolet Volt is priced at US$40,000 twice as much as the BY F3DM.
