DIRTHAMMER SAYS

This 2025 Kandi Lucky T9 is unique for a couple reasons. First, it has just 7 miles on the clock from new. That's effectively the same thing as saying the machine is brand new, but it's priced at less than half MSRP! The second thing setting it apart is its lack of the factory blue and red decal kit.

Instead of loud and proud, this Lucky T9 is going for murdered-out and discreet, and we gotta say we love the look. The red springs and winch pull are the only hint of an accent color, and it looks mean as hell. The T9 is a potent little beast, despite its rudimentary looks and entry level price point. Kandi claims it's good for 45-50 mph, thanks to 21,000 watts from a 15.3 kWh lithium-ion battery. Charge time is eight hours, and you get right around 50 miles of range for that.

We love these things because they bring the power and instant torque that make electrics great to a rig that won't cost as much as a new Tacoma. The rigs are understated, nicely screwed together, and have rad features like light bars and a winch from the factory. We're all the way in on these things, and we think you'll dig them as much as we do!
