The quoted price was for a 122.5 kWh pack, available on top Z9 GT EV trims. The recently refreshed grand tourer is available in PHEV and EV trims, and retail pricing ranges from 269,800 to 369,800 yuan (39,600 to 54,300 USD). The maximum CLTC EV range is rated at 1036 km. The Z9 GT is compatible with BYD’s Flash Charging, which promises the following capabilities: 5 minutes from 10% to 70% 9 minutes from 10% to 97% Only 3 minutes slower at -30°C Posting on Weibo, the owner claimed that the quote was provided by a Denza dealership and did not include the cost of consumables or labour. The vehicle reportedly sustained undercarriage damage, affecting the Z9 GT’s battery. Market share of the top 10 EV battery makers in China, with BYD at No. 2.

Furthermore, the LFP pack’s quoted price means the battery accounts for 21% of the Z9 GT’s retail price. According to China EV Datatracker, BYD ranks second only to CATL in EV battery installations. As a result, the conglomerate would have an advantage in slashing battery costs for its own vehicles. A quote for replacing the Denza N7’s 91 kWh battery, including labour costs.

Denza’s provided quote listed a price of 84290 yuan (~12,400 USD) for a 91 kWh LFP battery. For reference, the Denza N7 is a mid-size EV SUV that retails between 259,800 and 289,800 yuan (38,200 and 42,600 USD). The replacement battery, provided by Denza under warranty at no cost to the owner, accounts for 29% of the SUV’s retail price. It should be noted that the Denza N7 does not support Flash Charging, and no refresh has been announced for the model. The Z9 GT’s battery is one generation ahead of the N7’s, offering improved technology and a larger capacity. However, the claimed price for the Z9 GT’s larger, more advanced replacement battery pack is lower than the N7’s, despite its advancements. BYD’s domestic deliveries, May 2025 to April 2026.

China EV Datatracker shows that the conglomerate is experiencing a record 8-month sales slump in China, and better tech and lower prices may be the key to its reversal. Denza has also announced a European launch for the Z9 GT, with pre-sale pricing set at approximately 115,000 euros (130,000 USD). Furthermore, while replacement battery pricing will vary widely, it is expected that BYD will also leverage its cost advantages to usurp its legacy European rivals.
