I don't know where is english introduction. But I can give some tips:<br />1. See the right bottom tag of the car, it is "2.0 TID". The Phev version tag would be "4.9s", same with Tang.<br />http://car.autohome.com.cn/photo/series/23934/1/3154220.html<br />2. the price of the current version is below 150000 CNY, the price of PHEV version is arround 180000 CNY<br />3. You will see the sold number of song will be very high in the first three month(I guess it will reach 5000 in october). it is not possible to reach this number for PHEV versionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05884747026887603628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-83431019421953677312015-09-22T09:13:31.154+00:002015-09-22T09:13:31.154+00:00Thanks Jose, but what asked for was where "do...Thanks Jose, but what asked for was where "do zh" got his information from.

Their line for some months now has been that battery bottlenecks "will be gradually reduced during this year" as the capacity expansions come online step by step. Whether battery producation grows quicker than demand, I can't tell. Also it's hard to get monthly sales figures for their commercial offerings (mostly buses). My feeling is that they are happy to sell hybrids with rather small battery for the moment rather than more aggressively marketing their pure BEVs (at least for passenger cars). It helps them keep battery demand reasonable and turnover high.jordijuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247450400602747207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-26561934583240779742015-09-16T16:32:51.695+00:002015-09-16T16:32:51.695+00:00If Kandi has only sold 3,600 of Panda clown car YT...If Kandi has only sold 3,600 of Panda clown car YTD then its looking real tough for them to make 25,000 full year 2015 guidance. <br /><br />KNDI still a shortAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-45155086909490735232015-09-16T11:16:24.075+00:002015-09-16T11:16:24.075+00:00jordiju:

Valid points. It's worth noting that the Song is produced in their new factory in Xian and not in Shenzhen, so at least the assembly lines shouldn't interfere with the Tang and Qin.jordijuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11247450400602747207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1399793419425111085.post-69523152519389746592015-09-15T19:42:45.798+00:002015-09-15T19:42:45.798+00:00I wouldn't draw too many conclusions about the...I wouldn't draw too many conclusions about the fall in the Qin sales last month yet.<br />The stock market collapse could have had an effect, but beyond that so much is happening at BYD that production could be affected, as they are ramping Tang sales rapidly as well as starting production of the Song.<br /><br />That can affect everything from the production lines to the availability of batteries.<br /><br />Of course it is also perfectly possible that the Tang is taken away from Qin sales and they have now dropped to their natural levels, but we aren't going to have a handle on it for some time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05130280139495086956noreply@blogger.com
