Price reactions over the last five news events have consistently aligned with the tone of the news, with negative items (earnings, Nasdaq notice) followed by declines and more neutral/positive items seeing muted gains.
Over recent months, Kandi has balanced strategic progress with operational and listing risks. The company reported 2025 results showing revenue decline and a large net loss, which was followed by a -4.8% move. A CEO letter then outlined a 2026–2030 strategy around off-road EVs and battery swapping, coinciding with a small gain. The subsequent Nasdaq minimum bid price deficiency notice saw a larger selloff. Today’s CATL-related collaboration news continues the strategic narrative tied to battery swap infrastructure.

Jinhua, China, May 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kandi Technologies Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kandi”) (NASDAQ GS: KNDI), a global innovator in intelligent equipment and a technology-driven platform company, today announced its participation as a core equipment supplier at CATL’s 2026 Battery Charging and Swapping Supplier Conference, held in Xiamen on May 26, 2026. Kandi’s invitation to this premier industry event underscores its standing as a trusted partner within CATL’s core battery swap ecosystem and reflects the depth of their long-term strategic collaboration.
On the sidelines of the event, Kandi’s Chairman, Mr. Xueqin Dong, and China Battery Exchange’s General Manager, Ms. Ying Dong, participated in an exclusive senior executive roundtable with CATL’s core leadership team, engaging in substantive dialogue on equipment technology advancement, large-scale batch delivery execution, supply chain optimization, and the long-term strategic roadmap underpinning the two companies’ collaboration.
Kandi also participated in a dedicated battery swap station equipment forum addressing key industry challenges, including standardized manufacturing processes, rigorous quality control protocols, and large-scale operations and maintenance. Kandi’s active engagement in these high-level discussions further cemented its position as a long-term, trusted equipment supplier within the CATL ecosystem.
The conference also provided important directional guidance on the long-term trajectory of the battery swap industry. CATL projects that the NEV energy replenishment market will evolve into a stable, three-pillar structure comprising home charging, public charging, and battery swapping. To capture this substantial market opportunity, CATL announced plans to significantly scale its infrastructure, targeting 30,000 passenger vehicle battery swap stations, 10,000 heavy-truck battery swap stations, and 100,000 ultra-fast charging and swapping facilities to form a comprehensive national energy replenishment network.
As the battery swap industry enters a full-scale commercialization cycle, Kandi is well-positioned to capitalize on this pivotal inflection point. Drawing on its advanced battery swap equipment R&D capabilities and intelligent manufacturing expertise, the Company intends to align closely with CATL’s national station deployment pace and standardization framework, deepen full-chain operational collaboration across the battery swap ecosystem, and actively capture the growth opportunities presented by large-scale industry expansion — contributing meaningfully to the high-quality development of China’s charging and swapping new energy infrastructure.
