*Edit - After seeing the K23 in white and black 27 and with number plates on, these cars actually look pretty decent (check the launch event video). Somehow blue and red don't suit the design. They're actually growing on me. I think I would actually buy the 27 if I was in the US and got in the first 1000 deposits. Would have loved to see the K27, as that's the car that's really hit the headlines. Despite the look, the K23 does seem very practical with good use of space and balance of features. But I have to be honest and say, these are 2 of the ugliest EVs on the market (maybe taste is different in China)? I don't mean to offend, I think Kandi is great and there is so much potential here. It just hurts to see it possibly get kicked to the curb because of styling. Simplifying the front of the K23 would go a long way. It's such a contradiction of aggressive design mixed with.... grandma's handbag... The K27 does at least have some cuteness appeal. But again, if the front cutout wasn't there it would be much nicer. Somehow that little cutout/inlet makes the whole car look really cheap. Slapping a fake number plate on in publications might help temporarily? Is it necessary for cooling? I tried a quick paint over in photoshop and simply smoothing over this area made a massive difference. If this is a single piece, maybe a modification might be achievable? It looks even better with a bit of the smile styling worked in for the intake instead... If anyone from Kandi reads this, seriously, I would love to send the sketches or help with feedback... I have extensive experience in 3D/2D design and would be happy to help in any way as there is so much potential here. Light & small makes so much sense for EVs and this market has so much room to grow. The K22 theme is such a great style choice. Being cute and unique it negates price factors in the way the mini wasn't luxury or cheap, anyone could own one. I imagine the last thing an American buyer wants right now is for his cheap Chinese car to stand out more. It has to be unique in a really good way or not unique at all.
Kandi has a lot of great features but i did,nt hear Micheal say anything about the vehicle having air bags! What is the safety rating for this car? what is a rollover speed to angle of degree? Are their any crash test videos ? Car looks great just want to see how it compares to other small cars like fiats or mini coopers !
Nothing. It’s called researching a new brand thoroughly and putting facts out on a public forum to educate consumers. The EV market is mostly luxury and high end vehicles and an economy model that more people can afford has been ignored by most manufacturers. There is certainly a market for a low cost EV that many people can afford. I wish Tesla was the first to go after this segment because I love Tesla as a company and the product they sell the public. Unfortunately Tesla didn’t see long term benefits and profitability and ignored this segment at least for now and someone seized the opportunity to go after this market of consumers. I wish I wasn’t buying from a foreign country but give someone credit for going after this market.
Was their website and range was ok but less than the videos I watched, Also most videos said cars would do up to 68 mph. Website says 25 - 35 mph K 27 shows the D & S for drive & sport modes. The K 23 does NOT show it has sport mode.
ua-cam.com/video/sEpWI0VRqI0/v-deo.html found a review from a dealer ship in Texas looks like its limited to 25 due to some highway safety issue. hopefully later models will get that fixed and let the ev run at its full potential .
Well at least it doesn't look like a rip-off of another brands ;) but damn what the hell is this design it looks like a Honda fit that survive a car crusher machine.
The truth is somewhere in the middle. The test track they used for the 188 is different than the test track used by the EPA. Also, you can get closer to the 188 number if you lay off the "Sport Mode" and don;t run your Heater or A.C. on full blast, or if you drive on either a very hot or very cold day. etc.
Two years later and this video is the only one I can find with someone actually driving one. Doesn't anybody own a Kandi K23? If so, please share your thoughts with us.
This is just a practical design. There are better looking EVs but think about it. 1. Its small/narrow to reduce weight and because there isnt an engine to force the car to be wider. 2. Its not no noticeable bonnet because it doesnt need one and theres cargo room in the back. 3. Its got small wheels to maximise interior space. 4. And its long to maximise interior space, knee room and boot space. Its not the prettiest car on the road by a long shot but from a practical standpoint, its near perfect.

Kandi has made similar claims before, pointing to the company having been "certified" or "approved" by NHTSA as proof of the cars' safety. But that's not how it works. NHTSA does not certify companies or cars. Manufacturers themselves must "certify that their products comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards and must ensure they are free of safety-related defects," according to a statement from NHTSA. NHTSA does not proactively test cars before they go on sale in the US, although the agency may check them afterward to ensure compliance, said Coleman Sachs, an auto industry consultant. Kandi said that its cars, which have been used for car sharing services in China, have passed crash tests there. Kandi has made cars in China since 2007, a Kandi spokesperson said. The new K23 and K27, which are not yet on China's roads, are similar to earlier Kandi models available there, the spokesperson said in an email. www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/this-tiny-electric-car-could-cost-just-dollar10000-in-the-us-but-there-are-tradeoffs/ar-BB18oGrz
However, despite guidance from Kandi America, CNN reporters in China were unable to find any records of crash tests of the K23, K27, or other Kandi models in China. Kandi also did not share its own documentation of crash tests based on either Chinese or US testing standards despite repeated requests from CNN.
Why I buy this instead of a used EV with a similar price? Old Kia Soul EV is bigger than this, similar range, and better structure, faster charging, and cheaper. A used Fiat 500E is a better car than K27 and charge faster. A used Spark EV is cheaper than K27 with similar spec. They are all from well-reputed companies, not from an unknown Kandi. And all used EV usually has only 20k to 30k miles, which is low for a car. Also, buying a used EV is better for the environment than a new cheap EV.
@@christopherwalkinalloverya5824 you are wrong, many used ev drove less than 30k and still running good. If both batteries are in same technology and capacity, the new ev lasts only 30k more by you, which is 2 to 3 years. However, the car itself is better than this. I visited some used ev dealers, their cars sold in no time.
Seems promising with the range and price but what about support when it breaks down or needs repair. I shouldn't base my fear on one offbrand quad, but if I didn't do my own repairs on that quad it would have been broke down and useless after hours of use. I've heard enough about getting Tesla repairs being difficult, I can only imaging repairs on these would be difficult. My Spark EV on the other hand has a Chevy dealer in town and in every town.
I have a fiat 500e. The problem with EVs at this time is that thier is not enough qualified ev car technicians to service these cars no matter the brand.
M Navarro Luckily I've not needed any repairs. I had a chevy Volt for about a year and now the Spark EV for about 8 months, both were used with about 20k miles and both have been super reliable. No repairs so far.

Question is will the company managed to get it qualified as an actual automobile or will it just qualify as a NEV. Personally, I think it should be sold as a car as both it and the K-27 are perfectly suited for commuter use and we do need some inexpensive ev's but getting qualified in the myriad if States and Provinces in North America is not going to be easy even if crash testing isn't an absolute necessity for sales to begin though of course it would still eventually have to pass crash testing.

If you plug it in with the 240V charger, it will take 7.5 hours if charging it from empty. If you plug it with a 120V charger it will be about 2x that long. But usually your car is not running entirely on empty.
When California starts fixing the craters on their road starting at the border from Tijuana, all the way to the Oregon line, otherwise the little car is bound to last less than half its warranty period!
These are ride shares. You’re not going to buy 1. You’re going to rent them like the scooters 🛴 and bikes 🚴 downtown with an app that charges by the hour.
They are truly on to something good.. To bad they don’t have a similarity of design for the front of their vehicle; it would be even better when they have battery swapping with Amp technology.
25 mph? Max? Lol... That's what I hear from the haters so unless that's a duplicate or some type of trickery I would say that that's a lot faster than 25 mile an hour...
Its really a massive shame that this company didn't advertise & push the hell out of this vehicle to the US market as so many ppl want EVs now.. not only that but they're not even selling this or the k27 anymore..
I really hate the 27. but the 23 is nice. I like the exterior design of it and the range. The 27 looks too much like a mini cooper which I hate too. and with 53mi range, I couldn't even get to work and back unless I charged at work too. I work like 50mi away from home. Would be very risky. probably some decent ranged used evs out there though for a good 15k.
They just fixed that. Check their we site. Now the top speed is 68 MPH, plus, here's a pro tip: If you replace the tyres with slightly taller profile tyres you will get about 72 MPH. Good enough for me.

If you plug it in with the 240V charger, it will take 7.5 hours if charging it from empty. If you plug it with a 120V charger it will be about 2x that long. But usually your car is not running entirely on empty.
I heard road noise
When would it come over to California?
I was in in san Diego last week and saw somebody driving one.
When California starts fixing the craters on their road starting at the border from Tijuana, all the way to the Oregon line, otherwise the little car is bound to last less than half its warranty period!
will this car be coming to Canada?
Eventually it will, maybe early 2022.
These are ride shares. You’re not going to buy 1. You’re going to rent them like the scooters 🛴 and bikes 🚴 downtown with an app that charges by the hour.
That's faster than 24 mile an hour haters. That's moving
Seems very functional. The K27 looks much better than the K23. Pls have accessories to improve the looks of the K23
Does it use ccs or Chademo, or AC only
Great video
They are truly on to something good.. To bad they don’t have a similarity of design for the front of their vehicle; it would be even better when they have battery swapping with Amp technology.
I just put a cat back on mine, sounds the same but looks cool.
Says no one
If you ever need to drive on the interstate, buy another car that goes over 100 mph or rent one.
It's ugly..but with that price tag I wouldn't mind
25 mph? Max? Lol... That's what I hear from the haters so unless that's a duplicate or some type of trickery I would say that that's a lot faster than 25 mile an hour...
K27 can go up to 60miles per hour
My nickname for this hideous-looking car is, `The Ugly Shifter!'
Buy stock now. It's dirt cheap
Its really a massive shame that this company didn't advertise & push the hell out of this vehicle to the US market as so many ppl want EVs now.. not only that but they're not even selling this or the k27 anymore..
I really hate the 27. but the 23 is nice. I like the exterior design of it and the range. The 27 looks too much like a mini cooper which I hate too. and with 53mi range, I couldn't even get to work and back unless I charged at work too. I work like 50mi away from home. Would be very risky. probably some decent ranged used evs out there though for a good 15k.
Is there a train that you can take to work? 50 miles is a crazy drive plus traffic if you live in the city.
Audio was shitty.
I have more subs than Kandi America! C'mon folks, you can do way better.
What a waste of metal, plastic, and effort. Don't be duped.
Doe not make since to even watch this video because this car will never come to the U.S
This car goes 63 mph. It wont "make it" in America.
They just fixed that. Check their we site. Now the top speed is 68 MPH, plus, here's a pro tip: If you replace the tyres with slightly taller profile tyres you will get about 72 MPH. Good enough for me.
@@fanfare100 nah mate.
@@okhera1 lol ok
@@fanfare100 do they have this info somewhere?
@@MeGustaCryptoTimes Sorry, who's they? And what info? The updated specs are at the www.kandiamerica.com/electric-vehicle-K27/ site.
Did Helen Keller design these? Hideous
LOL, the Chinese Helen Keller must have.
I am sorry but it is ugly car.
Stopped watching at “massive trunk”.
