“The official launch of Shanghai Jinshan Car-Share Program has demonstrated the expansion of Hangzhou Car-Share Program into other major cities in China as the most preferred business model for EV development.

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 Technologies, 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 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 Project is a lease model that uses enterprise, community or village as a lease unit and each unit leases a minimum of 100 EVs with a group lease term at a minimum of three years.
