Kandi Technologies Group unveiled its two-seater K22 and compact SUV the EX3 in Dallas Texas as it enters the US market. In a press release via NASDAQ on which Kandi is listed Kandi announced that it would sell the two models in the USA via its wholly owned subsidiary SC Autosports, LLC – previously Sportsman Country the ATV distributor. Kandi has its roots in lowcost neighborhood electric vehicles, but according to Kandi the K22 and EX3 have undergone several driving performance upgrades from the Chinese models, to accommodate the needs of the U.S. market. The newer models’ performance, battery life, and driving experience have been upgraded to strengthen their presence in the U.S. market. Pricing and specifications for the US models were not released, but a price point of below $20,000 before subsidy for the K22 subcompact was mentioned in various publications. It will be interesting to see how the Kandi EVs fair in the USA where there has been few subcompact EVs available as opposed to Europe and China. Furthermore, how will the US consumer deal with the stigma around quality and safety of Chinese auto’s? Kandi’s sales in China has been lackluster in 2017/2018 as the company crashed out of the Top 10 EV brands to the 24th position.
