“With its ecological environment known for having the best air quality in China, Hainan is China’s most popular top-tier tourist destination.

Kandi’s intention to develop a pure electric vehicle manufacturing business in Hainan will best serve the purpose of environmental protection for the world-class tourism island.” Mr. Hu Xiaoming, Chairman and CEO of Kandi said. During Mr. Hu’s comments at the ceremony, he conveyed his gratitude for the continuous support and guidance from the provincial and municipal governments during Kandi’s Hainan investment journey.
