Write: Azland [2011-10-27]

Chinese car maker BYD has made its first all-electric car available to private buyers in China.

The BYD e6 is now available in Shenzhen.

It retails for roughly 300-thousand yuan.

However, buyers of the BYD e6 are eligible for up to 120-thousand kuai worth of subsidies.

The five-seater can travel up to 300 kilometers on a single charge in urban conditions.

Its projected top speed is 140 kilometers per hour.

The e6 was initially launched for government use in Shenzhen last year.
