BYD Claims Its New EV Can Go 683 Miles on a Charge, Add Hundreds More in 5 Minutes
The claim centers on the Denza Z9 sedan, which BYD says could be one of the longest-range electric cars sold in China.
BYD is claiming its new Denza Z9 electric vehicle can travel up to 683 miles on a single charge and add hundreds of miles of range in about five minutes, according to a report from InsideEVs.
What Happened
The claim centers on the Denza Z9 sedan, which BYD says could rank among the longest-range EVs sold in China. The figures are company claims at this stage and have not been independently verified.
Why It Matters
Range and fast-charging speed remain two of the biggest concerns for EV buyers, so a production model that could cover roughly 683 miles between charges would reset expectations for an electric sedan. If the numbers hold up, the Denza Z9's performance would pressure rivals to match similar range and charging capability.
The Bottom Line
BYD has made bold range and charging claims for its Denza Z9, but they have not been independently confirmed. Whether the production version delivers on them will determine how much impact it makes in China's increasingly competitive EV market.
