BYD Claims Its New EV Can Go 683 Miles On A Charge—And Add Hundreds More In 5 Minutes

China’s BYD claims it’s now selling the world’s longest-range electric car.

The new Denza Z9S delivers up to 683 miles on a full charge, but there’s an asterisk in there.

A 102.3-kilowatt-hour LFP battery that can be charged in just five minutes is standard on all versions.

BYD, the Chinese giant that wants to dominate the world’s electrified vehicle sales charts, is now boasting that it makes the longest-range EV on the globe. The Denza Z9S is a four-door sedan that starts from the equivalent of just $47,100 in China, yet it delivers a maximum driving range of 683 miles (1,100 kilometers) on a full charge, according to its maker.

That’s a huge number, and it prompted Li Hui, Denza’s general manager, to say that it’s “not meant to be remembered, but to be forgotten,” according to CNEVPost. That’s because the car can drive for such long distances that owners might forget to plug it in.
