Q: The last 10Q states that Kandi will no longer be selling �complete EV kits� to the JV, only parts. What percentage of a completed vehicle do the Kandi �Parts� represent? What major components are included?

A: Parts primarily include motor, electric control, batteries and other components. These components represent roughly 60% of a complete vehicle.

EV Driving Range

Q: The official MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) range of the SMA7000BEV and SMA7001BEV is >150km but ZZY stated range is 70- 80km. What accounts for the difference?

A: All our cars are compatible with both charging and battery exchange features. The car can be installed with 20 kWh(kilowatt-hour), and in this case, the driving range can achieve 150km. Drivers can also choose to have10 kWh installed with another 10kWh being charging at the same time, and the driving range would be lower.

Early on, Kandi�s Quick Battery Exchange (QBEX) was an excellent concept for both consumers and the State Grid for �Battery to Grid� (B2G). Is this:

Q: Still a viable concept? Do all Kandi EV�s have the QBEX �Side Slide� Battery feature?

A: This is still a practical concept for the future EV technology development. Our cars will be installed with both charging and QBEX functions, but each EV model will be customized depending on its specific features.

Q: Government subsidies and Delay in Hangzhou subsidy.

A: Please refer to our recent 10Q and ppt filed with 8-Ks for detailed explanation on how the national and local government subsidies are received. Subsidy program renewal for 2016-2020 will be announcing upon the completion of the governmental reviewing process. Delay in Hangzhou local subsidy payment is due to many reasons that are out of Kandi�s control. We believe it will be finalized soon.

Q: In the 10-Q for Q3-2014, on page 63 is a reference to a payment of $57,342,430 made to Nanjing Shangtong Auto Technologies Co., LTD (an equipment supplier) for equipment purchase related to the development of the manufacturing facility in Wanning City, Hainan province. Can you explain what type of equipment is being purchased? What is the basis for Kandi's selection of this supplier?



2014 Annual Shareholders Meeting Q&A

A: Nanjing Shangtong is the equipment one-stop supplier responsible for supplying equipment including design, tooling, fixtures, gages and the four major production line equipment to Kandi Wanning�s manufacturing factory. After thorough comparisons, we believes Nanjing Shangtong meets all our standards for equipment supplies.

Q: With strong revenue and earnings stream, the JV company seems to be a prime candidate to bring to public. If so: How soon could this happen? Would it be in the US? Would it be in Hong Kong? Would it be on a China Exchange, such like Shanghai Stock Exchange?



2014 Annual Shareholders Meeting Q&A

A: Very likely, the plan will depend on specific circumstances.
