I presume at that price it has no battery thermal management. That works
ok in most of california. But probably not in super hot or cold
climates. I would expect somewhere around 35 mile range at freezing
temps. Maybe for a tiny bit more cost they can make it useful throughout
the US.

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.
