On or about November 4, 2016, we will mail to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials and Annual Stockholders Report, including Letter to Stockholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 online and how to vote online.

ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING

General: Date, Time and Place

We are providing this proxy statement to you in connection with the solicitation, on behalf of our Board, of proxies to be voted at our Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment of that meeting. The Annual Meeting will be held on December 16, 2016, at 7:00 a.m. E.T. (8:00 p.m. local time) at our executive office, located at 5F, Tower 3, Xixixinzuo, No. 550 Xixi Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China 310013.

Matters to be Considered and Voted Upon

At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to consider and vote to elect the nominees named herein as directors to serve until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016; to ratify the appointment of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016; and to conduct an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers. The Board does not know of any matters to be brought before the meeting other than as set forth in the notice of meeting. If any other matters properly come before the meeting, the persons named in the form of proxy or their substitutes will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters.

Record Date; Stock Outstanding and Entitled to Vote

Our Board established October 17, 2016 as the record date. Only holders of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, as of the record date, are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. Each share of common stock entitles the holder thereof to one vote per share on each matter presented to our stockholders for approval at the Annual Meeting. At the close of business on the record date, we had 47,699,638 shares of our common stock outstanding.

Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and Annual Report

These proxy solicitation materials are available at www.proxyvote.com on or about November 4, 2016 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the Company’s Annual Stockholders Report, including Letter to Stockholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 will be made available at www.proxyvote.com concurrently with these proxy solicitation materials.

The Company is furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, rather than mailing printed copies of these materials to each stockholder. We believe that this process should expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the costs incurred by us for the Annual Meeting and help to conserve natural resources. On or about November 4, 2016, we will mail to each stockholder of record and beneficial owners (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, in the form of a mailing titled “Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials”, that contains instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials, including this proxy statement and the Company’s Annual Stockholders Report, including Letter to Stockholders and Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, on a website referred to in such notice and how to access a proxy card to vote on the Internet or by telephone. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also contains instructions on how to receive a paper copy of the proxy materials. If you receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail, you should not expect to receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request one. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials by mail and would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, currently or on an ongoing basis, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials.

Quorum; Required Vote

A quorum of stockholders is required for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting. The presence of at least a majority of all of our shares of common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at the meeting. Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by an election inspector appointed for the meeting and will be taken into account in determining whether or not a quorum is present. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which occur when a broker has not received customer instructions and indicates that it does not have the discretionary authority to vote on a particular matter on the proxy card, will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting.

Assuming that a quorum is present, our stockholders may take action at the annual meeting with the votes described below.

Election of Directors. Under Delaware law and the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (“Bylaws”), the affirmative vote of a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of our shares of common stock is required to elect each director. Consequently, only shares that are voted in favor of a particular nominee will be counted toward such nominee’s achievement of a plurality. Stockholders do not have any rights to cumulate their votes in the election of directors. Abstentions and broker non-votes will not be counted toward a nominee's total.

Approval of the Appointment of the Independent Auditor . Under Delaware law and the Company’s Bylaws, the required vote to approve the appointment of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, is the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation . Under Delaware law and the Company’s Bylaws, the required vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), is the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Under applicable regulations, if a broker holds shares on your behalf, and you do not instruct your broker how to vote those shares on a matter considered “routine”, the broker may generally vote your shares for you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a broker has not received voting instructions from you on a “non-routine” matter, in which case the broker does not have authority to vote your shares with respect to such matter. Rules that govern how brokers vote your shares have recently changed. Unless you provide voting instructions to a broker holding shares on your behalf, your broker may no longer use discretionary authority to vote your shares on any of the matters to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm. Please vote your proxy so your vote can be counted.

Voting Procedure; Voting of Proxies; Revocation of Proxies

Stockholders of Record

If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Corporate Stock Transfer, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares. As the stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote, most conveniently vote by telephone, Internet or mail. Whether or not you plan to attend the annual meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may still attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person even if you have already voted by proxy.

By Internet – stockholders may vote on the internet by logging on to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given.

By Telephone – stockholders may vote by calling 1-800-690-6903 (toll-free) with a touch tone telephone and following the recorded instructions.

By Mail – stockholders must request a paper copy of the proxy materials to receive a proxy card and follow the instructions given for mailing. A paper copy of the proxy materials may be obtained by logging to www.proxyvote.com and following the instructions given. To vote using the proxy card, simply print the proxy card, complete, sign and date it and return it promptly to Vote Processing, c/o Broadridge, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. In the alternative, the proxy card can be mailed directly to the Company: Wang Cheng (Henry), our Chief Financial Officer, located in Jinhua City Industrial Zone, Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, China, 321016 or to Kewa Luo at Kandi Technologies Group, Inc., 230 Park Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10169. Our Board has selected each of Hu Xiaoming and Wang Cheng (Henry) to serve as proxies.

If you vote by telephone or via the Internet, you do not need to return your proxy card. Telephone and Internet voting are available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 P.M. Eastern Time on Thursday, December 15, 2016.

In Person - stockholders may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. To vote in person, come to the Annual Meeting and we will give you a ballot when you arrive.

The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, since it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting.

Shares of our common stock represented by proxies properly voted that are received by us and are not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If instructions are not given, such proxies will be voted FOR election of each nominee for director named herein, FOR verification of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as Independent auditor, and FOR approval of the compensation of our named executive officers described in this proxy statement. In addition, we reserve the right to exercise discretionary authority to vote proxies, in the manner determined by us, in our sole discretion, on any matters brought before the Annual Meeting for which we did not receive adequate notice under the proxy rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Street Name Stockholders

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of such shares. Because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote those shares at the meeting. The Board recommends that you vote using one of the other voting methods, since it is not practical for most stockholders to attend the Annual Meeting.

If you hold your shares in “street name” through a stockbroker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in your own name, you can most conveniently vote by telephone, Internet or mail. Please review the voting instructions on your voting instruction form.

Your proxy is revocable at any time before it is voted at the Annual Meeting in any of the following three ways:

	1.	You may submit another properly completed proxy bearing a later date.

	2.	You may send a written notice that you are revoking your proxy to Wang Cheng (Henry), located 5F, Tower 3, Xixixinzuo, No. 550 Xixi Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China 310013 or to Kewa Luo located at Kandi Technologies Group, Inc., 230 Park Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10169.

	3.	You may attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person. However, simply attending the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke your proxy.

Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal

Under Delaware General Corporation Law and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, stockholders are not entitled to any appraisal or similar rights of dissenters with respect to any of the proposals to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Proxy Solicitation

We will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. In addition to these proxy materials, our directors and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. Directors and employees will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

Householding

SEC rules permit us to deliver a single Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if applicable, a paper copy of our annual report and proxy statement, to one address shared by two or more of our stockholders. This delivery method is referred to as “householding” and can result in significant cost savings. To take advantage of this opportunity, we have delivered only one Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if applicable, a paper copy of the annual report and proxy statement, to multiple stockholders who share an address, unless we received contrary instructions from the impacted stockholders prior to the mailing date. If you received a householded mailing this year and you would like to have additional copies of our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or, if applicable, additional copies of our annual report and proxy statement mailed to you or you would like to opt out of this practice for future mailings, contact Wang Cheng (Henry) at 5F, Tower 3, Xixixinzuo, No. 550 Xixi Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, China 310013 or to Kewa Luo located at Kandi Technologies Group, Inc., 230 Park Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10169. We agree to deliver promptly, upon written or oral request, a separate copy of this proxy statement and annual report to any stockholder at the shared address to which a single copy of those documents were delivered.

Stockholder List

For at least ten days prior to the meeting, a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the address of and number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, will be open for examination by any stockholder, for any purpose related to the Annual Meeting, during ordinary business hours at our principal executive office. The list will also be available for examination at the Annual Meeting.

Other Business

The Board is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than those mentioned in this proxy statement and our accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If, however, any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote in accordance with their best judgment.

Proposals of Stockholders for Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016

Stockholder proposals will be considered for inclusion in the proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016 in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if they are received by the Company, on or before September 17, 2017.

Stockholders who intend to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016 without inclusion of such proposal in our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016 are required to provide notice of such proposal not less than ninety (90) days nor more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that if the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to such annual meeting, and not later than the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such meeting or tenth (10th) day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting was first made. Therefore, stockholder proposals must be received by us no earlier than August 18, 2017, but no later than September 17, 2017, and must otherwise comply with the notice requirements set forth under all applicable Exchange Act and SEC rules. The chairman of our Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016 may refuse to allow the transaction of any business or acknowledge the nomination of any person not made in compliance with the requisite procedures.

Stockholder notice shall set forth as to each matter the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (i) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (iii) the class and number of shares of the Company, which are beneficially owned by the stockholder, (iv) any material interest of the stockholder in such business and (v) any other information that is required to be provided by the stockholder pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, in his capacity as a proponent to a stockholder proposal.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR

The Audit Committee has selected BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP (“BDO China”) as the Company’s independent auditor for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and has further directed that management submit the selection of BDO China for ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. The shareholders are being asked to ratify this appointment so that the Audit Committee will know the opinion of the shareholders. However, the Audit Committee has sole authority to appoint the independent registered public accounting firm.

Neither representatives of BDO China nor AWC (CPA) Limited (f/k/a: Albert Wong & Co.), our former independent auditor (“AWC”), are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, either in person or by teleconference.

On April 12, 2016, the Company dismissed AWC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The decision to dismiss AWC was approved by the Company’s audit committee.

The principal accountant’s reports of AWC on the financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through April 12, 2016, there were no disagreements with AWC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of AWC, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its report. During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through April 12, 2016, there were no reportable events of the type described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided AWC with a copy of the foregoing disclosure and requested AWC to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) stating whether it agrees with the statements made therein. A copy of such letter, dated April 13, 2016, furnished by AWC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 13, 2016.

On April 12, 2016, the Company’s audit committee approved the engagement of BDO China as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period through April 12, 2016, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf consulted with BDO China regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed; the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company's financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided that BDO China concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to the accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and its related instructions) or a reportable event (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the annual meeting will be required to ratify the selection of BDO China.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP as the Company’s independent auditor.

PROPOSAL NO. 3

ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
(Say-On-Pay)

The Company is seek a non-binding advisory vote from its stockholders to approve the compensation of the Company’s executive officers as described under “Executive Compensation” and the tabular disclosure regarding our named executive officers’ compensation (together with the accompanying narrative disclosure) in this proxy statement.

This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives the Company’s stockholders the opportunity to express their views on our executive officers’ compensation. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding upon the Board of Directors. However, the Compensation Committee will take into account the outcome of the vote when making future executive officer compensation decisions. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our named executive officers as described pursuant to applicable SEC rules in this proxy statement.

The Company believes that its compensation policies and decisions are designed to deliver a performance-based pay philosophy, are aligned with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders and are competitive. Our principal compensation policies, which enable it to attract and retain talented executive officers to lead the Company in the achievement of our business objectives, include:

	•	The Company makes annual cash compensation decisions based on assessment of our performance against measurable financial goals, as well as each executive’s individual performance.

	•	The Company emphasizes long-term incentive compensation awards that collectively reward executive officers based on our performance, external and internal peer equity compensation practices, and the executive officer’s job responsibilities.

	•	The Company designs pay practices to retain a highly talented and experienced senior executive team.

	•	The Company encourages stock ownership by our senior executive officers.

As a result, the Company is presenting this proposal, which gives you as a stockholder the opportunity to approve, on an advisory basis, the Company’s executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement under the heading entitled “Executive Compensation” by voting for or against the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve the compensation of the named executive officers on an advisory basis, the compensation of the individuals identified in the Summary Compensation Table, as disclosed in this proxy statement (which disclosure includes the compensation tables and the accompanying narratives within the Executive Compensation section).”

Vote Required; Board of Directors Recommendation

This Say-on-Pay proposal is advisory and non-binding. To be approved, on a non-binding advisory basis, this proposal must receive the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares entitled to vote and present, in person or by properly executed proxy, at the annual meeting. However, the approval or disapproval of this proposal by stockholders will not require the Board or the Compensation Committee to take any action regarding the Company’s executive compensation practices. The final decision on the compensation and benefits of the Company’s named executive officers and on whether, and if so, how to address stockholder disapproval remains with the Board and the Compensation Committee. Brokers are prohibited from giving proxies to vote on executive compensation matters unless the beneficial owner of such shares has given voting instructions on the matter. This means that if your broker is the record holder of your shares, you must give voting instructions to your broker with respect to Proposal if you want your broker to vote your shares on Proposal 3.

The Board of Directors believes that the compensation of the executive officers is appropriate and recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the executive compensation as described in the compensation discussion and analysis and the compensation tables and otherwise in this proxy statement.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

Mr. Hu has served as Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since June 2007. Our Board continues to believe there are important advantages to Mr. Hu serving in both roles at this time. Mr. Hu is the director most familiar with our business and industry and is best situated to propose Board agendas and lead Board discussions on important matters. Mr. Hu provides a strong link between management and the Board, which promotes clear communication and enhances strategic planning and implementation of corporate strategies. Another advantage is the clarity of leadership provided by one person representing us to employees, stockholders and other stakeholders. Further, four of our seven current Board members have been deemed to be independent by our Board; therefore, we believe our board structure provides sufficient independent oversight of our management.

Our Board is responsible for oversight of the Company’s risk management practices while management is responsible for the day-to-day risk management processes. In the Board’s opinion, this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing the risks facing the Company. The Board receives periodic reports from management regarding the most significant risks facing the Company. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of our risk assessment and risk management policies. Our Audit Committee is empowered to appoint and oversee our independent registered public accounting firm, monitor the integrity of our financial reporting processes and systems of internal controls and provide an avenue of communication among our independent auditors, management, our internal auditing department and our Board.

The Board has not named a lead independent director.

Diversity

The Board does not have a formal policy with respect to Board nominee diversity. However, in recommending proposed nominees to the full Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers diversity in the context of the Board as a whole and considers personal characteristics (gender, ethnicity and age), skills and experiences, qualifications and the background of current and prospective directors as important factors in identifying and evaluating potential director nominees, so that the Board, as a whole, will possess what the Board believes are the appropriate skills, talent, expertise and backgrounds necessary to meet the long-term interests of our stockholders and the goals and objectives of the Company.

Director Independence

Our Board reviews each nominee’s relationship with the Company in order to determine whether a director nominee is independent pursuant to the listing rules of NASDAQ. Our Board has determined that each of Jerry Lewin, Chen Liming, Henry Yu and Ni Guangzheng meets the independence requirements and standards currently established by NASDAQ. All of the members of each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent as defined in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).

As required under applicable NASDAQ listing standards, in the 2015 fiscal year, our independent directors met 4times in regularly scheduled executive sessions at which only our independent directors were present.

Board Meetings and Committee Meeting; Annual Meeting Attendance

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Board held 4 meetings and acted through unanimous consent on 4 different occasions. In addition, the Audit Committee held 5 meetings; the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held 1 meeting; and the Compensation Committee held 1 meeting. During the year ended December 31, 2015, each of the directors attended, in person or by telephone, more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and the committees on which he or she served. We encourage our Board members to attend our Annual Meetings, but we do not have a formal policy requiring attendance. All of our then sitting Board members attended the 2015 Annual Meeting.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee currently consists of Henry Yu, Jerry Lewin and Chen Liming, each of whom is independent under NASDAQ listing standards. Mr. Yu serves as Chairman of our Audit Committee. The Board determined that each of Mr. Yu and Mr. Lewin qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert”, as defined by Item 407 of Regulation S-K and NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2). In reaching this determination, the Board made a qualitative assessment of Mr. Yu’s and Mr. Lewin’s level of knowledge and experience based on a number of factors, including formal education and business experience.

The Audit Committee has been established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Exchange Act. The Audit Committee is responsible for assisting the Board in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to: (i) the financial reports and other financial information provided by us to the public or any governmental body; (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; (iii) our systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance that have been established by management and the Board; and (iv) our auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes generally. In addition, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and oversight of the work of any registered public accounting firm employed by the Company (including resolution of disagreements between management and the accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work or performing other audit, review or other services. Any such registered public accounting firm must report directly to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has the ultimate authority and responsibility to evaluate and, where appropriate, replace the registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee’s policy is to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services by category, including audit-related services, tax services, and other permitted non-audit services. In accordance with the policy, the Audit Committee regularly reviews and receives updates on specific services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. All services rendered by AWC (CPA) Limited (f/k/a: Albert Wong & Co.), our former independent auditor, and BDO China Shu Lun Pan Certified Public Accountants LLP (“BDO China”), our current independent auditor, to the Company are permissible under applicable laws and regulations. During fiscal year 2015, all services requiring pre-approval and performed by AWC (CPA) Limited were approved in advance by the Audit Committee in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which is available on our website at www.en.kandivehicle.com under the link “Investor Relations”.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee currently consists of Chen Liming (Chairman), Henry Yu and Ni Guangzheng, each of whom is independent under NASDAQ listing standards. Mr. Chen currently serves as Chairman of our Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for the administration of all salary, bonus and incentive compensation plans for our officers and key employees. The Compensation Committee reviews and, as it deems appropriate, recommends to the Board policies, practices and procedures relating to the compensation of the officers and other managerial employees and the establishment and administration of employee benefit plans. It advises and consults with the officers of the Company as may be requested regarding managerial personnel policies. The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage independent advisors to assist it in carrying out its duties. During fiscal year 2015, the Compensation Committee did not engage the services of any independent advisors, experts or other third parties. We believe that the functioning of our Compensation Committee complies with, any applicable requirements of the NASDAQ Global Select Market and SEC rules and regulations. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter, which is available on our website at www.en.kandivehicle.com under the link “Investor Relations”.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions

Nominating and Governance Committee

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) currently consists of Ni Guangzheng (Chairman), Henry Yu and Chen Liming, each of whom is independent under NASDAQ listing standards. During fiscal year ended 2015, Mr. Ni served as Chairman of the Nominating Committee. The responsibilities of the Nominating Committee include: (i) identifying individuals qualified to serve as directors or fill any interim vacancies; (ii) recommending to the Board the selection of director nominees for each meeting of the stockholders at which directors are elected; (iii) advising the Board with respect to the composition, procedures and committees of the Board; and (iv) considering any other corporate governance issues that may arise from time to time, and developing appropriate recommendations for the Board. In recommending nominees to the Board, the Nominating Committee considers various criteria, including the ability of the individual to meet the NASDAQ “independence” requirements, general business experience, general financial experience, knowledge of the Company’s industry (including past industry experience), education, and demonstrated character and judgment. The Nominating Committee uses its, as well as the entire Board’s, network of contacts when compiling a list of potential director candidates and has the authority to engage outside consultants. The Nominating Committee will consider director nominees recommended by a stockholder if the stockholder mails timely notice to the Secretary of the Company at its principal offices, which notice includes (i) the name, age and business address of such nominee, (ii) the principal occupation of such nominee, (iii) a brief statement as to such nominee’s qualifications, (iv) a statement that such nominee consents to his or her nomination and will serve as a director if elected, (v) whether such nominee meets the definition of an “independent” director under the NASDAQ listing standards and (vi) the name, address, class and number of shares of capital stock of the Company held by the nominating stockholder. Any person nominated by a stockholder for election to the Board will be evaluated based on the same criteria as all other nominees. The Nominating Committee operates under a written charter, a copy of which was filed as an exhibit to a Current Report on a Form 8-K, filed November 5, 2007 and is available on our website at www.en.kandivehicle.com under the link “Investor Relations”.

Director Nomination Procedures

The Nominating Committee is generally responsible for soliciting recommendations for candidates for the Board, developing and reviewing background information for such candidates, and making recommendations to the Board with respect to candidates for directors proposed by stockholders. The nomination process involves a careful examination of the performance and qualifications of each incumbent director and potential nominees before deciding whether such person should be recommended for nomination by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board. The Board believes that the business experience of its directors has been, and continues to be, critical to the Company’s success. Directors should possess integrity, independence, energy, forthrightness, analytical skills and commitment to devote the necessary time and attention to the Company’s affairs. Directors must possess a willingness to challenge and stimulate management and the ability to work as part of a team in an environment of trust.

In selecting candidates for appointment or re-election to the Board, the Nominating Committee considers the following criteria: (i) personal and professional ethics and integrity, including a reputation for integrity and honesty in the business community; (ii) experience as an executive officer of companies or as a senior leader of complex organizations, including scientific, government, financial or technological organizations; (iii) financial knowledge, including an understanding of finance, accounting, the financial reporting process, and company measures for operating and strategic performance; (iv) ability to critically and independently evaluate business issues, contributing a diverse perspectives or viewpoints, and making practical and mature judgments; (v) a genuine interest in the Company, and the ability to spend the time required to make substantial contributions as a director; and (vi) no conflict of interest or legal impediment that would interfere with the duty of loyalty to the Company and its stockholders. In addition, the Nominating Committee reviews the qualifications of the directors to be appointed to serve as members of the Audit Committee to ensure that they meet the financial literacy and sophistication requirements under the NASDAQ rules and that at least one of them qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” under the rules of the SEC.

The Board will generally consider all relevant factors, including, among others, each nominee’s applicable expertise and demonstrated excellence in his or her field, the usefulness of such expertise to the Company, the availability of the nominee to devote sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Company, the nominee’s reputation for personal integrity and ethics, and the nominee’s ability to exercise sound business judgment. Director nominees are reviewed in the context of the existing membership of the Board (including the qualities and skills of the existing directors), the operating requirements of the Company and the long-term interests of its stockholders.

There were no arrangements or understandings between any of our directors and any other person pursuant to which any director was to be selected as a director or selected as a nominee.

Family Relationships

Narrative to Summary Compensation Table

In fiscal 2015, the primary components of our executive compensation programs were base salary and equity compensation. We use base salary to fairly and competitively compensate our executives, including the named executive officers, for the jobs we ask them to perform. We view base salary as the most stable component of our executive compensation program, as this amount is not at risk. We believe that the base salaries of our executives should be targeted at or above the median of base salaries for executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at comparable companies, consistent with our compensation philosophy. At the end of the year, each executive’s performance is evaluated by our Compensation Committee which takes into account the individual’s performance, responsibilities of the position, adherence to our core values, experience, and external market conditions and practices.

Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) – Long Term Equity Compensation

We believe it is a customary and competitive practice to include an equity-based element of compensation to the overall compensation package for our named executive officers. We believe that a significant portion of the compensation paid to our named executive officers should be performance-based and therefore at risk. Awards made are granted under the Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2008 Plan”). At our 2008 annual meeting of shareholders, our stockholders approved the adoption of the 2008 Plan. As of December 31, 2015, 7,500,000 options have been granted under the 2008 Plan to the Company's employees and directors, of which 2,593,332 have been exercised, and 6,668 have been forfeited.

On December 30, 2013, the Board of Directors approved a proposal (as submitted by the Compensation Committee) of an award (“Board’s Pre-Approved Award Grant Sub-Plan under the 2008 Plan”) for selected executives and other key employees comprising a total of 335,000 for each fiscal year beginning with the 2013 fiscal year under the 2008 Plan to be delivered upon the Company's determination that the Company's “Non-GAAP Net Income” for the fiscal year increased by 10%. “Non-GAAP Net Income” means the Company's net income for a particular year calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding option-related expenses, stock award expenses, and the effects caused by the change of fair value of financial derivatives. For example, if Non-GAAP Net Income for the 2013 fiscal year increases by 10% compared to the Non-GAAP Net Income for the 2012 fiscal year, the selected executives and other key employees will each be granted his or her target amount of common stock of the Company at the end of March 2014. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013 is less than Non-GAAP Net Income in 2012, then no common stock will be granted. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013 increases compared to Non-GAAP Net Income in 2012 but the increase is less than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant will be proportionately decreased. If Non-GAAP Net Income in 2013 increases compared to Non- GAAP Net Income in 2012 but the increase is more than 10%, then the target amount of the common stock grant will be proportionately increased.

On July 25, 2014, the Board of Directors approved a proposal submitted by the Compensation Committee to modify the languages of Board’s Pre-Approved Award Grant Sub-Plan under the 2008 Plan. The modification was to replace the languages of “in the future years the stock grant amount will be adjusted accordingly based on the Non-GAAP net income in 2013 and the Exhibit A attached hereto; if the Non-GAAP net income in one year is less than the Non-GAAP net income in the previous year, then no stock will be granted in that year; if the Non-GAAP net income continues increasing, the stock grant amount will increase according to the Non-GAAP net income increase percentage” with the languages of “in the future years if the Non-GAAP net income in one year increases 10% compared with the previous year, the total amount of stock listed in the Exhibit A attached to the original Resolutions will be granted to certain employees (management of the Company is authorized to determine list of employees and stock amount rewarded based on position adjustment of employees, performance and tenure of each employee in that year); if the Non-GAAP net income in one year is less than the Non-GAAP net income in the previous year, then no stock will be granted in that year; if the Non-GAAP net income in one year is 10% less than or 10% more than the Non-GAAP net income in the previous year, then the stock grant amount will decrease or increase according to the Non-GAAP net income decrease or increase percentage, but the total amount rewarded may not be over 200%.”

On May 20, 2015, the shareholders of the Company approved an increase of 9,000,000 shares under the 2008 Plan at its annual meeting. The fair value of each award granted under the 2008 Plan is determined based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant of the award. To the extent that the performance goal is not met and so no shares become due, no compensation cost is recognized and any recognized compensation cost during the applicable year is reversed. The number of shares of common stock granted under the 2008 Plan with respect to fiscal 2014 was 670,000 shares based on the Non-GAAP Net Income of the year of 2014. The compensation expense is recognized in General and Administrative Expenses. On April 23, 2015 and June 7, 2015, the Company granted 550,000 shares and 120,000 shares, respectively, to the senior management and key employee as year 2014 performance awards. The number of shares of common stock granted under the 2008 Plan with respect to fiscal 2015 was 670,000 shares based on the Non-GAAP Net Income of the year of 2015.

On May 29, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the grant of stock options to purchase 4,900,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $9.72 per share to the Company’s senior staff. The stock options will vest ratably over three years and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. As of December 31, 2015, no option shares are exercised. The granted stock option to the directors and officers are as below:

Name		Stock Options

Hu Xiaoming		900,000

Wang Cheng(Henry)		500,000

Qian Jingsong		500,000

The 2008 Plan is intended to enhance the Company’s and its affiliates’ ability to attract and retain highly qualified officers, directors, key employees and other persons, and to motivate such officers, directors, key employees and other persons to serve the Company to expend maximum effort to improve the business results and earnings of the Company, by providing to such persons an opportunity to acquire or increase a direct proprietary interest in the operations and future success of the Company. To this end, the 2008 Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock and cash awards. Any of these awards may, but need not, be made as performance incentives to reward attainment of annual or long-term performance goals in accordance with the terms hereof. Stock options granted under the 2008 Plan may be non-qualified stock options or incentive stock options. The stock options vest ratably over three years and expire in ten years from the grant date.

On September 26, 2016, the Board approved to terminate the previous Board’s Pre-Approved Award Grant Sub-Plan under the 2008 Plan and adopted a new plan to reduce the base of the stock award for selected executives and key employees from 335,000 shares of common stock to 250,000 shares of common stock for each fiscal year. The other term remain the same as the previous Board’s Pre-Approved Award Grant Sub-Plan.

The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, designates who is eligible to receive awards, determines the form of each award, determines the number of shares of stock subject to each award, establishes the exercise price of each award and such other terms and conditions applicable to the award as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. Options would become exercisable at such times as may be established by the Compensation Committee when granting the award. No stock option may be exercised more than ten years after the date the option is granted.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee has furnished the following report on its activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. The report is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” with the SEC or subject to the SEC’s proxy rules or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and the report shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any prior or subsequent filing under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates it by reference into any such filing. The Audit Committee charter sets forth the responsibilities of the Audit Committee. A copy of the Audit Committee charter is available on our website at http://en.kandivehicle.com//default.aspx under the links “Investor Relations -- Corporate Governance”.

The primary function of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board in its oversight and monitoring of our financial reporting and auditing process. Management has primary responsibility for our financial statements and the overall reporting process, including maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and assessing the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. The independent registered public accounting firm audits the annual financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and discusses with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with the Audit Committee. These discussions include a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee monitors our processes, relying, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with our management and representatives of AWC (CPA) Limited, our former independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has discussed AWC (CPA) Limited judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 (which superseded Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61), other standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), rules of the SEC, and other applicable regulations. The Audit Committee also received the written disclosures and the letter from AWC (CPA) Limited required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the firm’s independence from our management and has discussed with AWC (CPA) Limited its independence. The members of the Audit Committee considered whether the services provided by AWC (CPA) Limited, for the year ended December 31, 2015, are compatible with maintaining its independence. The Board has delegated to the Audit Committee the authority to approve the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm.

Based upon its reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to our Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 for filing with the SEC and the Board approved that recommendation.
