It's on the Tibetan side of Everest, and it reads like it's on China National Highway 318 (G318 on Google maps), which is actually really not very close to Everest but I guess it's the nearest main route on the northern side. Totally misleading headline. The average elevation of the Tibetan plateau is 4500m so the actual headline is "china builds an EV charging station on a main road in Tibet". The base camps that most international travellers use are on the Nepalese side.
