"Our third quarter was another exciting quarter with strong top-line growth, improved financial condition and new strategic developments," commented Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kandi. "In particular, our EV manufacturing joint venture with Geely Auto, or the 'JV Company' achieved great quarterly net profit and net margin, despite the fact that the quarter was back-end loaded because the new EV purchase tax exemption did not become effective until September 1."

Mr. Hu continued: "During the quarter, we also made numerous business initiatives, including the initial delivery of Kandi brand EVs to Shanghai public pure EV sharing program, the unveiling of our new 4-seat pure EV model KD17 'Cyclone', and the successful completion of our $71 million registered direct offering. Given the increasing opportunities and demand for electric cars in China, as well as Kandi's solid foundation and financial strength, we believe we are in a great position to continue executing our current business strategy."

"Looking forward to the fourth quarter, we are confident that our business model is beginning to gain traction in both top-line and bottom-line growth," concluded Mr. Hu. "The Car-Share Program has been highly recognized and well received by the customers, we believe our EV business model will be expanded to more EV pilot cities in China. We are also thrilled with our recent partnership with Ant Financial Services Group to launch Alipay, including Alipay Wallet services and technology platform, to Kandi's EV end users. We hope to raise the market awareness of the Kandi brand through the 300 million registered Alipay users."

About the Car-Share Program

Zhejiang ZuoZhongYou Electric Vehicle Service Co., Ltd. ("ZZY") is the first in market to initiate the public pure EV sharing program (the "Car-Share" Program). Kandi, through its 50% ownership interest in Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. (the "JV Company"), indirectly holds a 9.5% interest in ZZY.

Individually driven pure EVs are widely used in the Car-Share Program. The charging/parking stations which provide a variety of services, such as charging, maintenance, battery recycling, are located at airports, train stations, hotels, business centers, selected residential areas and other places that are typically congested. A network system provides EV rental service to individual drivers in and around the city. It also provides EV maintenance and battery charging to self-service users. Lastly, a tracking system allows the Car-Share Program management to keep a close watch at the status and precise location of each vehicle.

This Car-Share Program model has been implemented in Hangzhou since the second half of 2013, and has now begun to expand into other major cities in China.

The Group Long-term Lease Program is a lease model that uses enterprise, community or village as lease units and each unit leases a minimum of 100 EVs with a group lease term at a minimum of three years.
