CNN interview with Warren Buffett investee Wang Chuanfu of BYD, April 22, 2009 (3 of 3). Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway invested in Chinese automaker BYD in 2008. Charlie Munger has said about Wang Chuanfu: "This guy is a combination of Thomas Edison and Jack Welch - something like Edison in solving technical problems, and something like Welch in getting done what he needs to do. I have never seen anything like it."
Can anyone tell me how electric cars can reduce the dependence on oil given that the power producing companies that provide the electricity for the recharging stations still largely utilize oil and gas?

why ur cost is so low? the answer: cheap labor! why you can win the competition in the Chinese domestic market? the answer: the government is protecting you from the real competition, there's no fair competition! why didn't you think about BYD can grow as what it is today? the answer: you didn't know your relatives in the central government are so powerful you idiot!

I was impressed by his personality. Person like him is set to do something big. EV is the future, the key is the battery. He builds his battery expertise from the rechargeable battery for cell phones.
