Iron-Phosphate Lithium-Ion batteries are claimed to be much safer than Cobalt-Oxide Lithium-Ion batteries , which were the type of batteries exploding in laptops and portable devices recently.
BYD claims that a test model can travel on electric power before the gasoline engine will be needed, and that the battery can be fully recharged from an outlet in nine hours.
