The route stretches from Italy to Hong Kong, covering approximately 9,300 miles with a target completion time of 43 days. Leading the journey is the Denza Z9 GT, a shooting-brake-style EV from BYD’s premium brand. What makes the campaign particularly interesting is that the Z9 GT pairs a substantial driving range with the ability to charge from 10% to 97% in just nine minutes.

    It is. Higher horsepower is predictive of higher driving speeds, higher collision rates, and more damage/risk per collision.

    Even if it weren’t, it requires a heavier motor and stronger parts be used in the car, increasing costs and weight, which in turn decrease range.

      ome of the most powerful EVs is also the most efficient EVs, the Lucid Air. Aero has way more impact than the relatively tiny amount of additional weight added by including slightly beefier motors and cooling and such.
