That's pretty close to the imiev closeout pricing. A bit slower with, perhaps, longer range. I lament the passing of the imiev. Perhaps if Kandi has some price wiggle room and has more battery capacity in the works I could be a customer.
BTW, I made my first in long while ~60+ mile trip in an imiev. It used to make that trip with little sweat. Typical recent trips have been 25-50 miles. This time it barely made the 60+ miles even with very moderate speed. I estimate a 5-10% loss of battery capacity in ~20k miles. FAR better than my early Leaf. I can live with the 60 mph K27 top speed especially for the local trips.
