BYD Reveals the ‘World’s Longest-Range EV’ as American Auto Industry Struggles to Keep Pace - Lemmy.zip

> The updated Denza Z9 GT can drive up to 1036 km (644 miles) on a single charge, the Chinese automaker says.

644 miles I assume is at 100%, so longevity charging (80%) is 515 miles. That’s a really “take your EV car on a long trip” or “park it at the airport for several days” kind of charge. EV batteries can lose 1-2%/day, so you could feasibly leave it somewhere for a while when you get 515 miles range.

Man, really wished we had something like that at a reasonable cost in the US. I travel for work and have to leave my car idle for long periods, no EV charger in sight. Range like that would be perfect.

lose 1-2%/day

Um, there’s something wrong with your car. I can leave mine for almost a week at times and the milage is still the same as when I charged it and unplugged it.
