The plan of Chinese car companies to enter the mature automobile market in Europe and the United States is not smooth, the brand awareness is not high, it is very difficult to promote the market, the road to internationalization is often blocked, and there are also cases of failure and withdrawal, coupled with the influence of the epidemic and other environments. a number of Chinese car companies have postponed their plans to enter the European and American markets.

However, this "special" Chinese car company chose to "go against the current", and many netizens said that "courage is commendable".

A few days ago, Chinese carmaker Condi Technology Group announced the launch of two pure electric vehicles, the Condi K27 and K23, in the US market. The two new cars, targeting low-end electric cars, will begin pre-sale in the United States on August 18 and will be delivered to US consumers in the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Condi K27 positioning miniature electric car, with a four-door and four-seat body, is equipped with 17.69 kWh lithium batteries, an integrated mileage of 100mph, a maximum motor power of 20kW and a maximum speed of 101km/h. The Condi K27 sells for $19999 in the United States and $12999 (about 90600 yuan) after deducting the federal tax credit.

The Condi K23, which has a larger body, is priced at $29999 in the United States and $22499 (156900 yuan) after deducting the federal tax credit. Condi K23 styling design is more unique, and even has a sense of science fiction, whether consumers accept this appearance can only vary from person to person. The car is equipped with a 10-inch touch screen and a 41.4 kWh ternary lithium battery with a mileage of 180 miles, a maximum motor power of 21 kilowatts and a top speed of 112km/h.

The two electric cars will be sold through Condi's wholly owned US subsidiary and will initially be sold in the Dallas-Fort worth metropolitan area. Hu Xiaoming, chairman of Condi Technology, said that the new K23 and K27 models will open up a new world of modern transportation for the vast American middle class, but for these middle classes, there is a shortage of options for electric cars. Condi has always wanted to bring the benefits of electric cars to the mass market.

According to official information, Kangdi Technology Group is a listed company on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange in the United States, and its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhejiang Kangdi Automobile Industry Co., Ltd. is responsible for its business.

The brand Condi is no stranger to consumers. For a long time in the past, Condi electric cars have been active in the car sharing and travel market, occupying the top positions in the domestic electric vehicle rankings. However, Condi electric cars are located at the low end, focusing on the mini electric vehicle market. With the substantial reduction of subsidies for new energy vehicles and the upgrading of industry and consumption, Condi has gradually lost its market position. In 2019, Condi's sales of electric cars in the federation's statistics have been zero.

It is not known whether Chinese brands of "low-speed electric cars" will be recognized by American consumers, but Condi's entry into the US market has caused a lot of controversy on the Internet.

One netizen said, "is it easy for Americans to fool?" Another netizen said, "it's a long story!" Condi's courage is commendable. "

In addition, some netizens are optimistic about this practice, saying, "like the old man's entry into the American community commuter car market." Domestic old man music is very popular in the United States. Americans introduce the old man music to do community commuter cars, which drive short distances in the community, and the price is also relatively cheap. "

After GAC MOTOR, Zhongtai Automobile and other independent brands jumped tickets one after another, they did not expect that the Chinese brand that entered the US automobile market in 2020 was "Condi". It remains to be seen whether low-speed electric cars made in China are popular with American consumers.
