Guotai Junan Securities analyst Zhao Huan told the Beijing Times that companies dealing with electric car-related products like charging facilities will ride the wave of success thanks to Tesla’s gangbusters approach to business in China.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is expected in China Saturday to meet with the Sinopec Group about building charging stations in gas stations that are expected in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Chengdu by the summer of 2014.
