It is designed to primarily be a city car, offering an estimated 188 miles of range, in an easy to drive/park vehicle, all for less than any other EV on the market.

It has 49 KW of power, which converts to about 65 horsepower. Not blistering, but it'll move, and it is electric and only has one gear, so that instant torque is there.

It's a small hatchback that looks like an awkward mashup between a Honda Fit and a Smart, but the cockpit looks nice enough. A big, vertical touchscreen sits in the middle, and the materials look far nicer.

Kandi America

I'm pretty impressed overall just how smooth and comfortable it is. How easy it is to drive! It has room for four adults comfortably, has a massive trunk, and the back seat folds down. So if you need more cargo space, you can get it
