There will also be a BMW Premium Selection showroom and insurance renewal counter at the facility, which will be powered completely by renewable energy sources.

    240kW DC? That’s gonna wreck your batteries real fast. Use only when you really need to.

    Picture says a thousand words. European companies carrying a shovel to dig their grave is so relevant today.Hahahahaha. With the crazy recession in europe and the high cost of manufacturing, its game over for european companies. They all know only china can save them. I hope china tells these arrogant zionist supporters to go and continue to dig their own grave.
