Tesla Motors Inc hopes to launch a nationwide charging and service network for its electric vehicles by as early as 2015 nike air max 97 womens australia , CEO Elon Musk said in Beijing on Monday.


Tesla will build solar-powered charging stations in Beijing and Shanghai this year and will add more charging stations across the country in the coming years, Musk said during his first public appearance in China.

The 42-year-old billionaire did not reveal who his Chinese partners will be in building the stations. But China Daily reported last week, citing a company insider, that Tesla may join up with State-owned oil giant Sinopec Group for the charging network project in the country.


Musk suggested that the charging and service networks will start in big cities where demand for electric cars is greater.


"We will make a big investment in China to make sure every buyer has a great experience," he said.


Zhou Hongyi nike air max 97 mens australia , founder of Beijing-based Internet security company Qihoo 360 Technology Co Ltd, said electric cars may have a big market share in China.


But he also pointed out Tesla's solar-powered charging station project may not work well in some Chinese cities because days of bad air quality could hinder the process.


China, the world's largest car market, has a strong appetite for electric-powered vehicles because of surging gas prices and concerns over air pollution.


Sales of such vehicles surged by 13.9 percent year-on-year in 2013 to 21.98 million, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers.


Musk said Tesla plans to offer more electric cars with lower prices. The company also will double its production this year and may double the amount again in 2015 in order to keep up with the demand.


The ultimate goal for Tesla is to build electric automobiles that are affordable for all nike air max 97 australia , the South Africa-born Musk said, adding that his company's goal for direct sales and services in China is for consumers to have a "positive purchase experience".


The company's S model, equipped with an 85-kilowatt-hour battery, will be priced at 734,000 yuan ($118 nike air max 90 mens australia ,000), about $47,000 more than its sticker price in the United States. Freight, tariffs and value-added tax are behind the difference, said the company.


"We have pressure from investors who are in favor of setting a higher price in China nike air max 90 womens australia ," said Musk. But he added: "The important thing for Tesla is transparent pricing. We will not charge unreasonable prices to our customers."


It has never been the goal of Tesla to build sports cars for the rich, according to Musk. Asked what score he would give his company's latest Tesla model, the technology magnate paused and gave 80 points out of 100.


"I am a tough grader," said Musk. "The biggest challenge is how to make the car really great and make it affordable."


BUENOS AIRES, March 23 (Xinhua) -- Visiting U.S. President Barack Obama said here Wednesday that defeating the Islamic State (IS) is an "absolute priority."


The IS carried out "barbaric terrorism" in the Middle East and around the world nike air max 90 australia , therefore defeating the terrorist group is an "absolute priority," Obama told a joint news conference with Argentine President Mauricio Macri in Buenos Aires.


In response to criticism from Republicans that he had stayed in Cuba and Argentina instead of returning home after the Brussels attacks, Obama said that he would use military force only when needed, adding that it is important not to rush into pointless action.


In response to accusations that Obama's visit is ill-timed as it falls on the 40th anniversary of the military coup in Argentina, which is widely believed to have been supported by the United States nike air max 2018 mens australia , Obama said at a state dinner on Wednesday evening: "We are both democratic countries, and we can learn from the tragedies of the past."


On the other hand, the two countries decided to enhance their trade relations, which are currently at their lowest point in 20 years.


"We spoke about the importance of increasing trade between our countries. Argentina has much to offer but there is very small trade today," said Macri.


Obama said that the two countries would identify the obstacles impeding the progress of commerce.


However nike air max 2018 womens australia , asked whether a free trade agreement (FTA) between the United States and Argentina was on the table, Macri flatly denied it, saying: "We must consolidate Mercosur (regional trade bloc) and think about broader agreements before an FTA."


Obama on Tuesday concluded his three-day visit to Cuba, and flew to Argentina for a state visit, the first by a U.S. president in nearly 20 years.


Left-wing supporters marched in Buenos Aires to protest Obama's visit. Protesters walked through the streets of the district of Palermo before ending up outside the U.S. Embassy.


Juan Carlos Giordano nike air max 2018 australia , a national deputy and leader of the Socialist Left Party, said: "Left-wing parties and human rights organizations are marching today. We reject the presence of Obama, the chief of North American imperialism."
