BYD's Denza Z9 GT to Europe with 1.5MW flash charging and a 644-mile range

BYD’s premium Denza Z9 GT is headed to Europe this April, touting a 122 kWh Blade Battery and a reported range up to about 644 miles. It uses 1,500 kW “megawatt” flash charging that can hit 10-70% in five minutes (and 10-97% in nine minutes), even in cold weather with a small added time. The brand plans a Europe-wide network of 1.5 MW chargers—potentially 2,000 stations by 2026—to support the fast charging claims and outpace rivals in charging infrastructure.
