The BYD F3DM (Dual-mode) is a plug-in hybrid compact sedan manufactured by BYD with an all-electric range of 60 kilometres (37 mi) and a hybrid electric powertrain that can extend the range an additional 480 kilometres (300 mi).[3] The F3DM is the world's first mass-produced plug-in hybrid automobile and went on sale to government agencies and corporations in China on December 15, 2008.[2][4][5] During its first year in the market the F3DM plug-in sold only 48 vehicles.[6] Sales to the general public began in Shenzhen in March 2010,[7][8] and 417 units were sold during 2010.[9] Cumulative sales in China reached 3,284 units through October 2013, when sales ended,[10][11][12] and only 11 units were sold in Europe through October 2012.[13]
A testing program was launched in the U.S. in December 2010 with the participation of the Housing Authority of the City of Los Angeles (HACLA).[14] The F3DM was expected to go on sale in the U.S. in 2012 at a price of US$28,800 before any government incentives.[3] In October 2011 BYD announced that retail sales will be delayed due to the lack of charging infrastructure.[15]
In April 2012 BYD announced that due to its low sales, the F3DM was to be replaced by the BYD Qin (pronounced “Chin”) plug-in hybrid, which was unveiled at the 2012 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition.[16][17][18] Qin deliveries in China began in mid December 2013.[19] As of May 2013[update], the F3DM was no longer in production, but the remaining stock was sold by October 2013.[20]
