The system operated only with Kandi EV all-electric cars, which are available to customers in automated garages that work similar to vending machines.

Leasing is available from US$130 to US$160 per month, which includes insurance, maintenance, and the electric power through swapping batteries at the program garages.

Kandi had low EV sales in the first quarter of 2019 due to the delay of government subsidies and restructuring of the JV.
