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.
EVs don’t lose efficiency with high horsepower figures… in fact, they gain stronger regen braking, which reduces brake pad wear (and means less brake pad dust polluting the environment) as well as extending range in city/residential driving and on downhill sections of road.
Excess horsepower cost more money and is less safe
