"BYD Auto, which is a subsidiary of China-based BYD Group, the leading provider of NiCd batteries (65% global market share) and lithium-ion cell phone batteries (30% global market share), uses lithium-ion iron phosphate cells from its parent company in its energy storage system."

It's kinda funny when you think about the self-interest at work here. One of the world's largest battery makers is making all electric (plug in) cars. LoL.

Warren Buffet knew a good bargain when he saw one. He invested $230 million in BYD:

He bought the shares at 8 HKD ($1 USD) per share, and now it's worth $9 USD per share. That's 900% returns! Boy I should kick myself in the head for not buying this one. Buffet's $230 million investment is now worth over $2 billion USD!

Why electric?
