I think it’s crazy that Kandi hasn’t been hit with a cease and desist for their new “K27" car.
It’s obviously a cloned Daihatsu Cast.
They even cloned the damn interior.

My theory is that these cars are likely total crap; there’s a lot of competition in China for cheap EV’s and this one likely doesn’t cut the mustard. GM’s brand, Wuling, just had 50,000 orders for its new Hongguang Mini EV.
Because they can’t make it in China, they’re trying to dump these crapboxes in the US.

China has plenty of innovation and interesting small EV’s. The Kandi cars don’t seem to be one of them.
