SHANGHAI - November 7, 2007:
The president of Chinese automaker BYD, **** Chuanfu, said in Shenzhen that his company will start volume production of dual mode electric cars called F6DM in the second half of next year.
BYD's dual mode vehicle is, at the same time, an Electric Vehicle (EV) and a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV). Starting in 2009, all BYD-produced vehicles will be powered by dual mode engines, **** said.

I didn't know whether to laugh or sigh. So I said, "no it's full hybrid", he then said he wasn't aware that Prius came in electric only. I then sighed...
