The Zhidou D2 is an all-electric car that is manufactured by the Chinese manufacturer Zhi Dou Electric Vehicle Corporation[4]—sometimes called Zhidou Auto or ZD Auto.[5][4] They were also used by car sharing company Sharengo in Milan and other Italian cities[6] since 2013.[7]

History

Originally launched[when?] simply as the Zhidou, and later Zhidou D1 and D2. The Zhidou D2, which went on the market in June 2015,[4] is an improved and updated version of the same car featuring updated styling and performance.[8][9]

Replacing the Zhidou D1 in 2015, the D2 has a 47 kW motor and a 210AH lithium-ion battery pack that delivers a range of 120 km (75 mi).[citation needed]

Charging for the Zhidou D2 takes 8 to 10 hours for a full charge on 220V power source.[4]

Zotye E20

The Zotye E20 is a variant of the D2 that Zhidou makes for Zotye Automotive.[4] The Zotye E20 was originally unveiled as a pre-production concept car during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show in April 2014, at a price of 108,800 yuan ($17,700) without subsidies.[citation needed]

The Zotye E20 is powered by an electric motor producing 24 hp (18 kW) and 82 N⋅m (60 lbf⋅ft) of torque.[citation needed] The top speed of the Zotye E20 is 80 km/h (50 mph),[4] and the electric range of the E20 is 120 km (75 mi).[citation needed]

Charging for the Zotye E20 is six hours on a 220V power source for a full charge, and 20 minutes on a fast charger for an 80% charge.

Green energy subsidies from central and local government in China brings the price down to 48,800 yuan ($7,944), which is a total subsidy of 60,000 yuan ($9,760).[10]
