I puled up next to this today, first time I've seen one of these in Australia. Had a quick chat with the owner, it's brand new and apparently the first one in Victoria. He told me it's got the Blade battery and therefore it charges quickly up to 98% before slowing things down.

Just back from Intersolar in Muenchen, Germany. An interesting stand from BYD - they have showcased street legal BYD e6 (http://www.byd.com/na/e6/e6.html) so the EU homologation is done already. Obviously not as safe and not as appealing as Tesla, but 80kWh battery, vehicle-to-grid capability...
