US carmaker will retrofit charging network, adapting to local standards
BEIJING - Tesla Inc is modifying new cars delivered to China and retrofitting the charging network in the country to comply with domestic norms, a move that could boost its sales in the world's largest electric vehicle market.
Starting in November, Tesla will deliver to Chinese customers Model S and Model X cars with a new charging port based on China's GB standard, a company spokeswoman said via WeChat on Monday. Palo Alto, California-based Tesla aims to complete the retrofitting of its Supercharger stations and destination charging sites in China by next spring, it said.
