Zhi Dou

Zhi Dou Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. (often written as Zhidou or ZD) is a Chinese electric car manufacturer founded in 2011. The brand specializes in producing micro electric vehicles (EVs) designed for urban commuting, with a focus on affordability, compact size, and eco-friendly technology.

One of its most recognizable models is the ZD D2, a small two-seat electric city car that became popular in China and was also exported to several European markets under different names. Zhi Dou vehicles are known for being lightweight, easy to park, and inexpensive to run, targeting city drivers and car-sharing services.

The company has been supported by partnerships with larger automakers, including Geely, to expand production and technology development. While not a mainstream global brand, Zhi Dou has contributed to the rise of affordable EVs in China’s rapidly growing electric mobility sector.
