JINHUA, China--Oct. 17, 2011: Kandi Technologies, Corp. (the 'Company' or 'Kandi') , a leading Chinese supplier of off-road vehicles and developer of pure electric vehicles (EV), today announced that an inauguration ceremony for a new energy vehicle promotional campaign of Jinhua City was sponsored and held by Jinhua Municipal City at the facility of Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, on October 12th, 2011.  The ceremony was hosted by the Director and the Deputy Director of Economic and Information Technology Commission of Jinhua, Mr. Hongshen Jin and Mr. Zhongjun Li.

The objective of the ceremony was to promote the sales of electric vehicles in Jinhua City through government financial subsidies to consumers who purchase Kandi pure EV. A Kandi pure EV is priced at 43,000 RMB (approximately $6,750).  To encourage consumers to purchase the electric vehicles, Zhejiang Provincial Government and Jinhua Municipal Government will provide subsidies of 32,000 RMB (approximately $5,024) to the buyers for each of the first 500 Kandi pure EV, 20,000 RMB (approximately $3,140) to the buyers for each of the next 1,000 Kandi pure EV, and 16,000 RMB (approximately $2,512) to the buyers for each of the following 1,500 of Kandi pure EV.

Kandi's pure EV uses a vehicle and battery separation system and an "Express Change" of battery model.  Since the experimental operation of the new model in November 2010 in Jinhua City, customers have enjoyed that it is economical and environmentally friendly and have praised its convenience, efficiency, compact size, and elegant design.    

"We believe the successful operation of Kandi's new energy vehicles in Jinhua City will mark an important milestone for Kandi's market expansion," commented Mr. Xiaoming Hu, the CEO and Chairman of the board of Kandi.  "Given the innovative technology of our EV, coupled with Jinhua Municipal Government's financial incentive support, we anticipate that Jinhua City, among the cities with the pilot program for new energy vehicles, will soon become the most influential city for the new energy vehicles."
