With European petrol pricehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s approximately twice that of US gahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/soline pumphttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s, Europe https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/should be quicker to adopt the Supercharger https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/strategy.

China

To date, China hahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s been https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/slow to adopt electric carhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s, but the country hahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s certainly been quick to adopt https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar. According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance, China added 12 gigawatthttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s of https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar in 2013 alone, almohttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st matching the total 13 gigawatthttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s (SEIA) of inhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stalled https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar in the United Statehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s. In 2013, China pahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/shttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sed Germany to become the largehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar market. With that https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/said, Tehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sla hahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s a large opportunity ahead in China with EVhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s and https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/solar powered Supercharger https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stationhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s. Undoubtedly, Chinehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/se authoritiehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s are all earhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s when it comehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s to https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/strategiehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s to reduce https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/smog and oil conhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sumption.

China ihttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s the https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/second largehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/st oil conhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sumer in the world and a very large net oil importer, making the country economically vulnerable to the price of oil. The International Energy Agency (IEA) ehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/stimatehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s that China will conhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/sume about 10.5 million barrelhttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s of oil per day (bpd) in 2014, up from 10.2 million bpd in 2013. China producehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s approximately 4.5 million bpd.

The future Chinehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/se Model S got a little cheaper Friday, ahttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s the Yuan moved under 6.05 to the US Dollar. The Chinehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/se monetary authoritiehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s have been https://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/slowly inching the Yuan higher and plan to eventually free float the currency on international exchangehttps://evnewsreport.com/files/tag/s.
