The Kandi launch
If you (not myself) Have decide to get a Kandi let us know what you think about after 3 plus years of driving. Most China knockoff low budget, cheap material, cheap appeal, and unproven quality are based on the following premise of China dogma and doctrine.
Premise
China steals technologies using tongs, consulates, China national students in USA college ,universities and unwise business partnerships. Although the China calls this "cultural" exchange China nationals in the USA steal, spy, copy, and transfer what open societies do not protect. Once China has theft technology they build and then add minor improvements of "said" technology where possible. No major innovation has originated from memory from China . History perspective China year 1921 foundation day of CCP before that you had China technology of gunpowder, papermaking, and compass .Although some say China has modern innovation and technology .The reality is most of current day China is a mish mash of shared or intellectual property theft technologies.

China Kandi in China domestic market are urban primary driving vehicle and there is urban rental fleet in China.
Low quality, range concern, workmanship, online purchase only and no service centers .
Tesla , Nissan Leaf, and Fiat 500E would be comparison on value alone.
Will not purchase online a China CCP communist Kandi and export USA dollars
