The K17A debuted on August 5, 2016, as the first product of Kandi Technologies.

The system operates only with Kandi EV all-electric cars, which are available to customers in automated garages that run like vending machines. The leasing option, called "Long Lease," is available from 1- to 3-year contracts.[5]
