Basically, it seems to follow the approach of the original Mercedes-Benz A-Class concept, with the underbody battery packs, but in a heavier and less aerodynamic shape. And that sure harms the range.

I get the feeling that the BYD e6 needs some finetuning before it could compete in the US and European market, yet at 1/3 of the price of a Tesla model S it would be the ideal EV for many. I'll keep it in mind.

It's valid as a proof-of-concept, but there's really a lot of room for improvements. I actually wonder why BYD didn't try to make it more aerodynamic like the Prius, the Volt or the Leaf.
