BYD $1211 (-0,75 %) is planning to launch its first plant in Europe, is expanding its sales network, is establishing a network of fast chargers and is attacking the premium market with brands such as Denza.
A new version of the Denza Z9 underpins BYD's claim to market leadership in electric cars in all classes. The top model Z9 GT, also planned for Europe, comes in its new version with a new motor setup and new batteries - for maximum performance and range.

The large battery has a whopping 122.5 kWh, enabling the Z9 GT to cover 1,036 kilometers according to CLTC standards. According to the local WLTP standard, that's probably around 850 kilometers. That's still a big thing, because very few electric cars currently come close to that, and it's usually significantly less.
Apart from that, Denza is also offering new motors, a setup consisting of a total of three electric motors is intended to appeal to sporty customers who are interested in over 1,140 hp. The high-performance model consists of a 230 kW motor and two motors with 310 kW each.
