JINHUA, China, September 28, 2026 – Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (“Kandi” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ GS: KNDI), a global innovator in intelligent equipment and a technology-driven platform company, today announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended June 30, 2026.

First Half 2026 Financial Highlights

· Total net revenues increased 57.4% year over year to $57.1 million from $36.3 million.

· Net income increased 452.2% year over year to $9.4 million from $1.7 million.

· Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and certificates of deposit totaled $285.7 million as of June 30, 2026, compared with $211.9 million as of December 31, 2025. 

· Revenue from off-road vehicles and associated parts increased 59.4% to $54.2 million, compared with $34.0 million for the same period of 2025. 

Recent Developments

· On February 6, 2026, Kandi completed its acquisition of Rawrr, a premium electric off-road motorcycle brand in the United States. The acquisition reinforces Kandi’s presence in the North American sustainable mobility market and represents a pivotal milestone in the Company’s long-term multi-brand expansion strategy. Rawrr’s electric off-road motorcycles have expanded Kandi’s product portfolio, which also includes LSPTVs (Low-Speed Personal Transportation Vehicles), UTVs (Utility Terrain Vehicles), and other off-road vehicles, enabling the Company to serve a broader customer base with a more comprehensive suite of low-carbon mobility solutions across community transportation, outdoor recreation, and sports leisure applications.

· In June 2026, Kandi entered into an agreement to acquire a 51% controlling stake in Hangzhou Xinchu New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (“Xinchu”) for RMB20 million (approximately US$2.9 million), marking its entry into the rapidly growing AI data center backup power and energy storage market. Founded by an experienced team with deep expertise across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, Xinchu designs and manufactures lithium battery backup power and battery management systems for AI data centers, telecom base stations, and high-density GPU computing environments. The transaction was completed in the third quarter of 2026.

· In July 2026, Kandi’s subsidiary, Kandi Electric Vehicles (Hainan) Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Hainan”), entered into an exclusive five-year cooperation agreement with Zhejiang Greentown Community Business Group Co., Ltd. to deploy electric sightseeing vehicles, classified as low-speed electric vehicles (“LSVs”), across residential communities in China. By leveraging Greentown’s extensive nationwide property management network, the partnership is expected to expand Kandi’s domestic off-road EV business and establish a scalable, recurring-revenue community mobility model.

· In July 2026, Kandi’s subsidiary, China Battery Exchange, secured an equipment procurement order from CATL’s QIJI Energy for 18 battery swap stations, representing the first batch order under the parties’ three-year cooperation agreement entered into in January 2026. Covering end-to-end services spanning equipment manufacturing, delivery, site deployment, and after-sales maintenance, this order marks the partnership’s transition from pilot phase into active commercial deployment, reinforcing China Battery Exchange’s position within CATL’s heavy-truck battery swap supplier ecosystem.

· In July 2026, China Battery Exchange commenced production at its newly established battery swap equipment manufacturing base in Lin’an, Zhejiang Province. The facility is expected to reach an annual production capacity of up to 200 heavy-duty truck battery swap stations, supporting the Company’s efforts to expand standardized battery swap equipment manufacturing. The commencement of production is directly supported by growing commercial momentum, including the 18-station equipment procurement order from CATL’s QIJI Energy.

Management Remarks

Mr. Feng Chen, CEO of Kandi, commented, “In the first half of 2026, Kandi delivered strong revenue growth and returned to operating profitability, reflecting improved operating leverage. Our North American off-road electric vehicle business was a key contributor to this growth, supported by increased sales momentum and the additional revenue contribution from Rawrr. We will continue to build on this progress by broadening our channel network, upgrading our product portfolio and deepening Rawrr’s integration to reinforce our competitive position.

“Beyond our core business, we are leveraging our technology and manufacturing expertise to pursue opportunities in energy and intelligent equipment. Our battery-swapping equipment business is gaining commercial traction and our expansion into AI data center backup power and energy storage is opening new markets. Our current priority is on fulfilling customer orders, building customer relationships and validating solutions in real-world applications. We will continue to tailor these efforts to each initiative’s stage of development as we build a more diversified revenue base.

“Looking beyond 2026, we expect upgrades to Kandi’s product lineup, new Rawrr product launches and contributions from emerging businesses to support continued growth. Backed by a solid financial position, we intend to pursue these initiatives with a disciplined approach to capital allocation, aligning investment with commercial progress to optimize capital efficiency, propel sustainable growth and create long-term shareholder value.”
