The higher-voltage variant will support moves by European vehicle manufacturers announced earlier this year to introduce 48 volt passenger vehicle power networks to help meet the requirement for lower fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions. In other words adding a useful 42kW boost for low speed overtaking and hill climbs.

published in the ACS journal Chemical Reviews , reviews in detail four stationary storage systems considered the most promising candidates for electrochemical energy storage: vanadium redox flow; sodium-beta alumina membrane; lithium-ion; and lead-carbon batteries. Approximation of capital cost per cycle of different ESS technologies.

The F6 DM uses ferrous batteries, with no lithium content, that BYD says are high-energy density and low cost. DaimlerChrysler has presented plug-in hybrids in commercial vans that have enough room to store the batteries, but the technology is not quite ripe for cars."Plug-in Everything is on the table."
