History edit
The K10 appeared in the offer of the Chinese company Kandi in 2015, implementing the concept of a small, city electric vehicle built with the domestic market in mind. The K10 took the form of a 3-door hatchback, gaining a two-tone painting of the body made of plastic.
In November 2015, Kandi established cooperation with the Chinese startup Pang Da, delivering 1000 K10 units for the needs of city carsharing.[1]
Sale edit
After 2 years of production and sale of the K10 on the Chinese domestic market, the car was withdrawn from the market in 2017[2] in favor of newer designs and following the decision of the Chinese authorities to temporarily suspend Kandi Technologies due to allegations of unstable financial situation.[3]
Technical data edit
The electrical system of the K10 consists of a 20 kWh battery which provides 47 hp and a maximum range of 150 kilometers. Charging the battery to 100% takes about 10 hours.[4]
