(“Kandi Technologies”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on March 31, 2004. As used herein, the terms “Company” or “Kandi” refer to Kandi Technologies and its operating subsidiaries, as described below. Headquartered in Jinhua City, Zhejiang Province, People’s Republic of China (“China”), the Company is one of China’s leading producers and manufacturers of electric vehicle (“EV”) products (through the Affiliate Company, formerly defined as the JV Company), EV parts, and off-road vehicles for sale in Chinese and global markets. The Company conducts its primary business operations through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Zhejiang Kandi Vehicles Co., Ltd. (“Kandi Vehicles”), Kandi Vehicles’ wholly and partially-owned subsidiaries, and SC Autosports LLC (“SC Autosports”). The Company’s organizational chart as of September 30, 2019 is as follows: On March 21, 2019, Kandi Vehicle signed an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Geely Technologies Group Co., Ltd. (“Geely”) to transfer certain equity interests in the Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. (the “Affiliate Company”, formerly defined as the “JV Company”) to Geely. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Affiliate Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $46.7 million) from Geely last year to equity in order to increase its cash flow. As a result, the registered capital of the Affiliate Company became RMB 2.40 billion (approximately $336.3 million), of which Kandi Vehicles then owned 43.47% and Geely owned 56.53%, respectively, upon the conversion of the loan into equity in the Affiliate Company. After that, Kandi Vehicles further agreed to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the Affiliate Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $72.3 million). As of September 29, 2019, Kandi Vehicles has received payments in cash totaling RMB 220 million (approximately $30.9 million) and certain commercial acceptance notes of RMB 296 million (approximately $41.6 million), of which RMB 140 million (approximately $19.7 million) shall mature on January 20, 2020 and the remaining RMB 156 million (approximately $21.9 million) shall mature on March 29, 2020. As a result of the completion of the equity transfer on September 29, 2019, Kandi Vehicles now owns 22% and Geely and its affiliates own 78% of the equity interests of the Affiliate Company. As now the Company only owns 22% of the JV Company, it was redefined as the Affiliate Company. The Company’s primary business operations consist of designing, developing, manufacturing and commercializing EV products (through Kandi Electric Vehicles (Hainan) Co., Ltd. and the Affiliate Company), EV parts and off-road vehicles. As part of its strategic objective of becoming a leading manufacturer of EV products (through the Affiliate Company) and related services, the Company has increased its focus on pure EV-related products, and is actively pursuing expansion in the Chinese and international markets, especially the U.S. market. |

Liquidity [Abstract] | |
LIQUIDITY | NOTE 2 - LIQUIDITY The Company had a working capital of $80,374,159 as of September 30, 2019, an increase of $77,847,248 from a working capital of $2,526,911 as of December 31, 2018. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents was $14,338,637 and $ 15,662,201, respectively, the Company’s restricted cash was $11,713,004 and $6,690,870, respectively. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company signed an agreement to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the Affiliate Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $72.3 million). As of September 29, 2019, the Company has received payments in cash totaling RMB 220 million (approximately $30.9 million) and certain commercial acceptance notes of RMB 296 million (approximately $41.6 million) from Geely, of which RMB 140 million (approximately $19.7 million) shall mature on January 20, 2020 and the remaining RMB 156 million (approximately $21.9 million) shall mature on March 29, 2020. The Company plans to apply the proceeds from the equity transfer to its ongoing operations. The cash flow and operating capacity of the Company will be greatly improved after receiving the above payments. Although the Company expects that most of its outstanding trade receivables from customers will be collected in the next twelve months, there are uncertainties with respect to the timing in collecting these receivables, especially the receivables due from the Affiliate Company, because most of them are indirectly impacted by the progress of the receipt of government subsidies. The Company’s primary need for liquidity stems from its need to fund working capital requirements of the Company’s businesses, its capital expenditures and its general operations, including debt repayment. The Company has historically financed its operations through short-term commercial bank loans from Chinese banks, as well as its ongoing operating activities by using funds from operations, external credit or financing arrangements. The Company routinely monitors current and expected operational requirements and financial market conditions to evaluate the use of available financing sources. Considering the existing working capital position and the ability to access debt funding sources, the management believes that the Company’s operations and borrowing resources are sufficient to provide for its current and foreseeable capital requirements to support its ongoing operations for the next twelve months. |

New Accounting Pronouncements [Abstract] | |
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | NOTE 7 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, together with subsequent Accounting Standards Updates collectively known as the “leases standard” or “ASC 842”. ASC 842 requires a lessee recognize the assets and liabilities that arise from leases. All leases create an asset and a liability for the lessee in accordance with FASB Concepts Statement No. 6, Elements of Financial Statements. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new standard using the effective date approach. The Company elected to adopt both the transition relief provided in ASU 2018-11 and the package of practical expedients which allowed us, among other things, to retain historical lease classifications and accounting for any leases that existed prior to adoption of the standard. Additionally, the management elected the practical expedients allowing the Company not to separate lease and non-lease components and not record leases with an initial term of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) on the balance sheet across all existing asset classes. Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of operating lease assets and operating lease liabilities of $140,000 as of January 1, 2019, which primarily relates to the corporate office leases for SC Autosports. The standard did not materially impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows. Adopting the new standard did not have a material impact on the accounting for leases under which the Company is the lessee. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 (Topic 350) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which removes Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. Under the amended guidance, a goodwill impairment charge will now be recognized for the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. This ASU will be applied on a prospective basis and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for any impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company plans to adopt this ASU in the fourth quarter of 2019 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2018, the FASB released ASU 2018-2, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” This standard update addresses a specific consequence of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“U.S. tax reform”) and allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for the stranded tax effects resulting from U.S. tax reform. Consequently, the update eliminates the stranded tax effects that were created as a result of the historical U.S. federal corporate income tax rate to the newly enacted U.S. federal corporate income tax rate. The Company is required to adopt this standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this update should be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period in which the effect of the change in the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate in the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is recognized. The Company has finished the evaluation and determined there is no impact of on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds, and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements under ASC 820. This ASU is to be applied on a prospective basis for certain modified or new disclosure requirements, and all other amendments in the standard are to be applied on a retrospective basis. The new standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption on the Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE | NOTE 9 - EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE The Company calculates earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share are computed using the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted earnings per share represents basic earnings per share adjusted to include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and warrants (using treasury stock method). Due to the average market price of the common stock during the period below the exercise price of the options, approximately 3,900,000 options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. Due to the loss from operations, approximately 3,900,000 options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. The following is the calculation of earnings per share for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: For three months ended September 30, 2019 2018 Net income (loss) $ 12,089,441 $ (6,521,399 ) Weighted average shares used in basic computation 52,613,642 51,474,048 Dilutive shares - - Weighted average shares used in diluted computation 52,613,642 51,474,048 Earnings (Loss) per share: Basic and diluted $ 0.23 $ (0.13 ) The following is the calculation of earnings per share for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018: For nine months ended September 30, 2019 2018 Net income (loss) $ 361,811 $ (1,418,879 ) Weighted average shares used in basic computation 52,332,260 51,089,047 Dilutive shares - - Weighted average shares used in diluted computation 52,332,260 51,089,047 Earnings (Loss) per share: Basic and diluted $ 0.01 $ (0.03 ) |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
TAXES | NOTE 20 - TAXES (a) Corporation Income Tax Pursuant to the tax laws and regulations of the PRC, the Company’s applicable corporate income tax (“CIT”) rate is 25%. However, Kandi Vehicles and Jinhua Ankao qualify as High and New Technology Enterprise (“HNTE”) companies in the PRC, and are entitled to pay a reduced income tax rate of 15% for the years presented. A HNTE Certificate is valid for three years. An entity may re-apply for an HNTE certificate when the prior certificate expires. Historically, Kandi Vehicles has successfully re-applied for such certificates when the its prior certificates expired. Jinhua Ankao has been qualified as HNTE since 2018. Therefore no records for renewal are available. The applicable CIT rate of each of the Company’s three other subsidiaries, Kandi New Energy, Yongkang Scrou and Kandi Hainan, the Affiliate Company and its subsidiaries is 25%. The Company’s tax provision or benefit from income taxes for interim periods is determined using an estimate of our annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any, that are taken into account in the relevant period. Each quarter the Company updates its estimate of the annual effective tax rate, and if its estimated tax rate changes, the management makes a cumulative adjustment. For 2019, the management estimates that its effective tax rate will be favorably affected by non-taxable income such as the share of income of the Affiliate Company and the gain from the change of fair value of contingent liabilities and certain research and development super-deduction and adversely affected by non-deductible expenses such as part of entertainment expenses. The Company records valuation allowances against the deferred tax assets associated with losses for which we may not realize a related tax benefit. After combining research and development tax credits of 25% on certain qualified research and development expenses, the Company’s effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and 2018 were a tax benefit of 13.05% on a reported income before taxes of approximately $0.3 million, and an effective income tax rate with a tax benefit of 20.70% for the same period of last year on a reported loss before taxes of approximately $1.8 million, respectively. The quarterly tax provision, and the quarterly estimate of our annual effective tax rate, is subject to significant variation due to several factors, including variability in accurately predicting our pre-tax and taxable income and loss, acquisitions (including integrations) and investments, changes in our stock price, changes in our deferred tax assets and liabilities and their valuation, return to provision true-up, foreign currency gains (losses), changes in regulations and interpretations related to tax, accounting, and other areas. Additionally, our effective tax rate can be more or less volatile based on the amount of pre-tax income or loss. The income tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 was tax benefit of $41,780 and tax benefit of $370,316, respectively. Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the guidance in ASC 740 relating to uncertain tax positions. The guidance addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under ASC 740, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. ASC 740 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. As of December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any liability for unrecognized tax benefits. The Company files income tax returns with the U.S. Internal Revenue Services (“IRS”) and those states where the Company has operations. The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations by the IRS and relevant state tax authorities for years after 2006. During the periods open to examination, the Company has net operating loss carry forwards (“NOLs”) for U.S. federal and state tax purposes that have attributes from closed periods. Since these NOLs may be utilized in future periods, they remain subject to examination. The Company also files certain tax returns in the PRC. As of September 30, 2019, the Company was not aware of any pending income tax examinations by U.S. or PRC tax authorities. The Company records interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions as income tax expense. As of September 30, 2019 the Company has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The aggregate NOLs in 2018 was $28.1 million deriving from entities in the PRC and Hong Kong. the aggregate NOLs in 2017 was $22.7 million deriving from entities in the PRC, Hong Kong and U.S. The NOLs will start to expire from 2021 if they are not used. The cumulative net operating loss in the PRC can be carried forward for five years, to offset future net profits for income tax purposes. The cumulative net operating loss Pre-2018 in the U.S. can be carried forward for twenty years. The cumulative net operating loss in Hong Kong can be carried forward without an expiration date. (b) Tax Holiday Effect For the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the PRC CIT rate was 25%. Certain subsidiaries of the Company are entitled to tax exemptions (tax holidays) for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018. The combined effects of income tax expense exemptions and reductions available to the Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 2018 Tax benefit (holiday) credit $ 377,303 $ 1,345,541 Basic net income per share effect $ 0.000 $ 0.000 (c) The Tax Cuts and Job Act On December 22, 2017, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 118, which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companies to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in its financial statements. If a company cannot determine a provisional estimate to be included in its financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basis of the provisions of the tax laws that were in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act. In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”), the Company recorded provisional estimates related to the re-measurement of deferred taxes and the Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax in our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. The measurement period ended on December 22, 2018. As of December 22, 2018, we have completed the accounting for the impact of the Tax Act based on the guidance, interpretations, and data available. No adjustments to these provisional estimates have been recorded. Under the Tax Act, Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (” GILTI “) tax rules the Company must make an accounting policy election to either (1) recognize taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or (2) factor such amount into the Company’s measure of its deferred taxes (the “deferred method”). The Company elected to treat the GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred. |

SUMMARIZED INFORMATION OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT IN THE AFFILIATE COMPANY | NOTE 24 - SUMMARIZED INFORMATION OF EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENT IN THE AFFILIATE COMPANY The Company’s condensed consolidated net income (loss) includes the Company’s proportionate share of the net income or loss of the Company’s equity method investees. When the Company records its proportionate share of net income (loss) in such investees, it increases equity income (loss) – net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income and the Company’s carrying value in that investment. Conversely, when the Company records its proportionate share of a net loss in such investees, it decreases equity income (loss) – net in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) and the Company’s carrying value in that investment. All intra-entity profits and losses with the Company’s equity method investees have been eliminated. On March 21, 2019, Kandi Vehicle signed an Equity Transfer Agreement with Geely Technologies Group Co., Ltd. to transfer certain equity interests in the Affiliate Company to Geely. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Affiliate Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $46.7 million) from Geely Group last year to equity in order to increase its cash flow. As a result, the registered capital of the Affiliate Company became RMB 2.40 billion (approximately $336.3 million), of which Kandi Vehicles owned 43.47% and Geely owned 56.53%, respectively, upon the conversion of the loan into equity in the Affiliate Company (the “March Affiliate Loan to Equity Conversion”). Kandi Vehicles further agree to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the Affiliate Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $72.3 million) (the “Affiliate Equity Transfer”). Kandi Vehicles shall own 22% of the equity interests of the Affiliate Company as a result of the transfer. As of September 29, 2019, the Company has received payments in cash totaling RMB 220 million (approximately $30.9 million) and certain commercial acceptance notes of RMB 296 million (approximately $41.6 million) from Geely, of which RMB 140 million (approximately $19.7 million) shall mature on January 20, 2020 and the remaining RMB 156 million (approximately $21.9 million) shall mature on March 29, 2020. As of September 30, 2019, the equity transfer has been completed. Therefore, in the third quarter of 2019, the Company has recognized the gain from equity sale of $20,574,217. The Company accounted for its investments in the Affiliate Company under the equity method of accounting. Since the March Affiliate Loan to Equity Conversion was completed at the very end of the first quarter, the Company still recorded 50% of the Affiliate Company’s loss for the first quarter of 2019. Starting from the second quarter of the 2019, since the equity interests in the Affiliate Company have been reduced to 43.47% and the Affiliate Equity Transfer was completed at the very end of the third quarter, the Company recorded 43.47% of the Affiliate Company’s loss for the second and third quarter of 2019. The consolidated results of operations and financial position of the Affiliate Company are summarized below: Three Months ended September 30, 2019 2018 Condensed income statement information: Net sales $ 520,275 $ 19,880,543 Gross loss (377,700 ) 3,133,283 Gross margin -72.6 % 15.8 % Net(loss) income (19,435,546 ) (5,860,746 ) Nine Months ended September 30, 2019 2018 Condensed income statement information: Net sales $ 4,605,880 $ 73,292,774 Gross (loss) profits (3,006,051 ) 4,007,896 Gross margin -65.3 % 5.5 % Net (loss) income (49,986,119 ) (87,969 ) September 30, December 31, 2019 2018 Condensed balance sheet information: Current assets $ 609,002,781 $ 751,143,254 Noncurrent assets 65,386,057 140,736,300 Total assets $ 674,388,838 $ 891,879,554 Current liabilities 429,675,791 633,711,465 Noncurrent liabilities - - Equity 244,713,047 258,168,089 Total liabilities and equity $ 674,388,838 $ 891,879,554 Note: The following table illustrates the captions used in the Company’s Income Statements for its equity based investment in the Affiliate Company. The Company’s equity method investments in the Affiliate Company for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows: Nine Months ended September 30, 2019 2018 Investment in the Affiliate Company, beginning of the period, $ 128,929,893 $ 70,681,013 Investment in Affiliate Company in 2018 - 79,370,859 Investment decreased in 2019 (72,309,417 ) Gain from equity dilution 4,291,974 - Gain from equity sale 20,574,217 - Company’s share in net (loss) income of Affiliate based on 50% ownership for three months ended March 31, 2019, 43.47% (1) (23,025,049 ) (43,985 ) Intercompany transaction elimination (12,557 ) (484,037 ) Year 2018 unrealized profit realized 154,480 448,429 Subtotal (22,883,126 ) (79,593 ) Exchange difference (4,766,530 ) (3,699,548 ) Investment in Affiliate Company, end of the period $ 53,837,011 $ 146,272,731 (1) Represents the rounded result of dividing RMB1,045 million (the Company’s ownership interest in the Affiliate Company) by RMB2,404 million (the Affiliate Company’s total equity interest). We used the actual result and kept full decimals when calculating the Company’s share in net (loss) income of the Affiliate Company. The gain from equity dilution for nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulted from the Affiliate Company issuing shares to the Affiliate Company partner, Greely, in exchange for extinguishment of a loan from Greely, resulting in dilution of equity ownership of the Company from 50% to 43.47%. This dilutive transaction was treated as if the Company sold a proportional share of its investment in the Affiliate Company. Sales to the Company’s customers, the Affiliate Company and its subsidiaries, for the three months ended September 30, 2019, were $4,720,159 or 14.9% of the Company’s total revenue, a decrease of 79.6% from $23,135,326 of the same quarter last year. Sales to the Company’s customers, the Affiliate Company and its subsidiaries, for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, were $10,543,190 or 14.3% of the Company’s total revenue, a decrease of 65.4% from $30,479,521 of the same quarter last year. Sales to the Affiliate Company and its subsidiaries were primarily of battery packs, body parts, EV drive motors, EV controllers, air conditioning units and other auto parts. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the net current and noncurrent net amount due from the Affiliate Company and its subsidiaries, was $25,335,894 and $67,683,462, respectively. |

(“NGCL”) for NGCL’s $2,802,691 (RMB 20 million) loan from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank Jinhua Branch, with a related loan period of March 15, 2013, to March 15, 2016. NGCL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to assume joint liability as the loan guarantor. In April 2017, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank filed a lawsuit against NGCL, the Company and ten other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yongkang City, alleging NGCL defaulted on a bank loan borrowed from Shanghai Pudong Development Bank for a principal amount of approximately $2.9 million and demanded that the guarantor bear the liability for compensation. On May 27, 2017, a judicial mediation took place in Yongkang City and parties reached a settlement in mediation, in which the plaintiff agreed NGCL would repay the loan principal and interest in installments. So long as NGCL repays the principal and interest according to the agreement, the plaintiff will not ask the Company for recovery. As of the date of this report, the Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be remote. On September 29, 2015, the Company entered into a guarantee contract to serve as the guarantor of Zhejiang Shuguang Industrial Co., Ltd. (“ZSICL”) for a bank loan in the amount of $4,063,901 (RMB 29 million) from Ping An Bank, with a related loan period of September 29, 2015, to September 28, 2016. ZSICL is not related to the Company. Under this guarantee contract, the Company agreed to perform all the obligations of ZSICL under the loan contract if ZSICL failed to perform its obligations as set forth therein. In August 2016, Ping An Bank Yiwu Branch (“Ping An Bank”) filed a lawsuit against ZSICL, the Company, and three other parties in Zhejiang Province People’s Court in Yiwu City, alleging ZSICL defaulted on a bank loan it had borrowed from Pin An Bank for a principal amount of RMB 29 million or approximately $4.2 million (the “Principal”), for which the Company was a guarantor along with other three parties. On December 25, 2016, the court ruled that ZSICL should repay Ping An Bank the principal and associated interest remaining on the bank loan within 10 days once the adjudication was effective. Additionally, the court found that the Company and the three other parties, acting as guarantors, have joint liability for this bank loan. On July 31, 2017, the Company and Ping An Bank reached an agreement to settle. According to the agreement, the Company was to pay Ping An Bank RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million in four installments before October 31, 2017 to release the Company from its guarantor liability for this default. As of October 31, 2017, the Company has paid all four installments totaling RMB 20 million or approximately $3.0 million to Ping An Bank and thus the Company has been released from its guarantor liability for this default. According to the Company’s agreement with ZSICL, ZSICL agreed to reimburse all the Company’s losses due to ZSICL’s default on the loan principal and interests, of which RMB 11.9 million has been reimbursed to the Company as of the date of this report and the remainder is expected to be reimbursed in installments within next two years. The Company expects the likelihood of incurring losses in connection with this matter to be low.

(2) Pledged collateral for bank loans to other parties. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, none of the Company’s land use rights or plants and equipment were pledged as collateral securing bank loans to other parties. Construction commitment In September 2019, in order to further increase the production capacity, YongkangScrou started building a factory of efficient new energy vehicle drive motors with a space of 6,639.9 square meters on the basis of the original plant. The total contract amount was RMB 6.6 million (approximately $0.9 million). The project is expected to be completed by 2020. Litigation Beginning in March 2017, putative shareholder class actions were filed against Kandi and certain of its current and former directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The complaints generally alleged violations of the federal securities laws based Kandi’s disclosure in March 2017 that its financial statements for the years 2014, 2015 and the first three quarters of 2016 would need to be restated, and seek damages on behalf of putative classes of shareholders who purchased or acquired Kandi’s securities prior to March 13, 2017. Kandi moved to dismiss the remaining cases, all of which were pending in the New York federal court, and that motion was granted by an order entered on September 30, 2019, and the time to appeal has run. Beginning in May 2017, purported shareholder derivative actions based on the same underlying events described above were filed against certain current and former directors of Kandi in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The New York federal court confirmed the voluntary dismissal of these actions in April 2019. In October 2017, a shareholder filed a books and records action against the Company in the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to 8 Del. C. Section 220 seeking the production of certain documents generally relating to the same underlying items described above as well as attorney’s fees (the “Section 220 Litigation”). On September 28, 2018, the parties, through their respective counsel, agreed to dismiss the Section 220 Litigation with prejudice and with each party bearing its own attorney’s fees, costs, and expenses, thereby concluding the action. In February 2019, this same shareholder commenced a derivative action against certain current and former directors of Kandi in the Delaware Court of Chancery. A motion to dismiss this derivative action was filed in May 2019 and remains pending. Separately, in connection with allegations of misconduct identified in pre-suit demands made by putative shareholders of Kandi, Kandi formed a Special Litigation Committee (“SLC”) and retained Delaware law firm as independent counsel to the SLC to aid in the SLC’s investigation of, and to ultimately report on, the allegations of misconduct set forth in the pre-suit demands. The investigation remains ongoing. While the Company believes that the claims in these litigations are without merit and will defend itself vigorously, the Company is unable to estimate the possible loss, if any, associated with these litigations. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain and the outcome of these matters, whether favorable or unfavorable, could have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations due to defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. Defending litigation can be costly, and adverse results in the Litigations could result in substantial monetary judgments. No assurance can be made that litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future financial position. |

Description of acquisition agreement | On March 21, 2019, Kandi Vehicle signed an Equity Transfer Agreement (the “Transfer Agreement”) with Geely Technologies Group Co., Ltd. (“Geely”) to transfer certain equity interests in the Kandi Electric Vehicles Group Co., Ltd. (the “Affiliate Company”, formerly defined as the “JV Company”) to Geely. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Affiliate Company converted a loan of RMB 314 million (approximately $46.7 million) from Geely last year to equity in order to increase its cash flow. As a result, the registered capital of the Affiliate Company became RMB 2.40 billion (approximately $336.3 million), of which Kandi Vehicles then owned 43.47% and Geely owned 56.53%, respectively, upon the conversion of the loan into equity in the Affiliate Company. After that, Kandi Vehicles further agreed to sell 21.47% of its equity interests in the Affiliate Company to Geely for a total amount of RMB 516 million (approximately $72.3 million). As of September 29, 2019, Kandi Vehicles has received payments in cash totaling RMB 220 million (approximately $30.9 million) and certain commercial acceptance notes of RMB 296 million (approximately $41.6 million), of which RMB 140 million (approximately $19.7 million) shall mature on January 20, 2020 and the remaining RMB 156 million (approximately $21.9 million) shall mature on March 29, 2020. As a result of the completion of the equity transfer on September 29, 2019, Kandi Vehicles now owns 22% and Geely and its affiliates own 78% of the equity interests of the Affiliate Company. As now the Company only owns 22% of the JV Company, it was redefined as the Affiliate Company. | |||||
