Chinese all-electric car

Chinese automaker BYD Auto plans to mass-market an all-electric car in China according to The Wall Street Journal. The company claims that the vehicle could go up to 300 km on a full charge. The company has also developed a plug-in hybrid capable of going 100 km in all electric mode.
BYD Chairman Chuanfu Wang said that the all electric car would hit the Chinese market around 2009 or 2010. He also said that the company plans to market both models in North America and Europe although he didn't elaborate.
