“Kandi is pleased to partner with Hengrun. We are a pioneer of EV battery swapping in China. Our accumulated experience of building over 50,000 electric vehicles combined with our dozens of battery-swap patents gives us a strong competitive advantage in this initiative.”
Adding…
“By utilizing our battery swap expertise and Hengrun’s vehicle production expertise, together we expect to create meaningful new benefits for customers and thus promote the development of China’s EV industry.”
This is definitely a further flame in the bright furnace of the Chinese EV industry. Kandi stock, although in a heavy downtrend, can’t blame today’s selling on the news announcement – rather it’s more likely the stock has fallen victim to the wider selloff that continues to weigh on the NASDAQ.
