Mr. Ju Lei, Deputy Mayor, commented, “Kandi’s EV business is a perfect fit for Haikou’s low-carbon manufacturing industry, and will be a strong addition to Haikou’s traditional auto industry chain. The geographic location and ecological protection of Hainan Island makes it an ideal place to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. I believe Kandi’s production facility will bring positive impact on the local economy and be an example for further development in the region. We expect that the Hi-tech Zone will continue to provide convenience and offer the necessary assistance to ensure the smooth and timely construction of the facility.”

Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kandi, commented, “It has only been 45 days from signing the cooperation agreement with the Haikou municipal government to the construction which was officially kicked off today. This exceptional efficiency is an indicator of the local government’ attention and support, for which we are very grateful. We will make every effort to contribute to Hainan’s economic and eco-environmental development.”
