Few have heard of Zotye Auto or its first all-electric vehicle 5008EV. But the company has now gained the distinction of being the first Chinese automaker to launch an all-electric vehicle for individual buyers in China.

Li Ziqiang, a Hangzhou resident, bought the 5008EV from the Zhejiang-based private manufacturer on July 26 after leasing a 2008EV model based on the company's small SUV for six months. In January this year, Zotye had put 100 units of its 2008EV model up for lease in Hangzhou to be tested for daily use.
