Exhibit 99.1
 
Kandi Technologies, Corp. Completes $10 Million Institutional Private Placement
 
JINHUA, CHINAJanuary 21, 2010 - Kandi Technologies, Corp. (NASDAQ:KNDI) a leading Chinese exporter of recreational vehicles and developer of the “COCO” all electric LSV, which recently forged a China-based multi-company Alliance to create China’s first, large-scale electric vehicle (EV) model city, today announced it has successfully raised $10,000,000 through the issuance of senior convertible notes to two U.S. institutional investors.

Mr. Xiaoming Hu, Chairman and CEO of Kandi, stated, “We and our Alliance partners are working at top speed to bring our vision of China’s first electric vehicle model city to fruition, and I am extremely pleased that, right at the start, Kandi has attracted significant U.S. investor support for our role in this revolutionary project.”

He added, “Kandi COCO vehicles with new, patented technology for easy removal and replacement of batteries will be a key element in the startup of this project, and I believe this funding strengthens our ability to meet anticipated first stage vehicle production requirements while also pursuing our legacy business.”

Description of Financing
 
As part of the private placement, on January 21, 2009,  Kandi Technologies issued 2-year senior convertible notes (“the Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $10 million, which carry an initial conversion price of $6.25 per share and pay interest at 6 percent per annum. Additionally, investors in the private placement were granted 800,000 3-year warrants with a strike price of $6.5625 per common share.  Kandi may redeem the Notes at 125% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, beginning on the six-month anniversary after the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the underlying shares of common stock, provided certain market price conditions are met.  The Company is obligated to file the registration statement sixty calendar days from the closing date.  Further information about the Notes and Warrants is available in the Company’s 8-K filed today with the Securities Exchange Commission (“the SEC”).
 
FT Global Capital, Inc. acted as lead placement agent, and Brean, Murray, Carret & Co. acted as co-placement agent for this transaction.  K&L Gates LLP served as the Company’s counsel and Greenberg Traurig, LLP as counsel to the investors.

About The Alliance For Chinese Electric Vehicle Development and Commercialization (“the Alliance”)

On January 4, 2010, Kandi announced it had forged an Alliance with major Chinese energy, IT and battery companies to help launch a new electronic vehicle (EV) era in China.  The new business model of the Alliance addresses key hurdles to mass commercialization of EVs by reducing EV purchase costs, eliminating battery concerns and substantially increasing driving ranges.  The new model envisions expansion on a city by city basis of its new model, key elements of which include: strong government cooperation, separating the sale of electric vehicles from the sale of batteries, construction of a comprehensive network of “battery stations” within each city for rental, repair, replacement and charging of batteries, and also, utilizing Kandi vehicles and patented and patent pending EV technology for easy removal and replacement of batteries.  The core members of the Alliance are: Kandi Technologies Corp.,  China Potevio/CNOOC New Energy and Power Ltd. (a joint venture between China National Offshore Oil Corporation and China Potevio Co.) and Tianneng Power International, Ltd.  Jinhua City, where Kandi is based, has been chosen as the first model EV city by the Alliance.
