Tesla to modify electric cars for China to meet new charging standard

By REUTERS | 12 May 2015


BEIJING: Tesla Motors Inc said it will modify new electric vehicles it produces for China to fit the national charging standard in the world's biggest automobile market once that standard has been set.

The American electric car maker is also actively involved in the process of setting that standard in China, the company said in a statement on its website on Monday.

Tesla cut jobs in China earlier this year after it missed sales targets, which analysts partially blame on difficulty charging the company's electric cars in China.
