The Kandi Coco or KD08E was a small electric vehicle first available in the US in 2009, built by Kandi Technologies.[1] For a short time, this vehicle was available with a large US tax credit and an additional tax credit in the state of Oklahoma, bringing the take-home cost of the vehicle to under US$1000.[2] A gasoline version of the vehicle, the KD08A, was also available.[3]

As of February 2013, the manufacturer has indicated the vehicle is still available for import to the US.[4] The original vehicle from 2009 was advertised as a "neighborhood electric vehicle" with a top speed of 25MPH and a maximum range of 60 miles per charge. Later models have been advertised with a slightly updated body, a 6 kW/8 hp motor, and a top speed of 35MPH.[5]
